Hi, i was last here is 2017 when i had arch on my desktop. since then i've completed an a-level in comp sci and am currently studing fine art. Recently bought a thinkpad x200 and installed gentoo on it and found myself here again.

Your title makes it seem that the "hell" you were describing was a kind of "Gentoo hell".

haha can't believe i didn't notice that. apologies.

Hello fre d die,
Welcome to the forums.

EHLO Fre d die.
And welcome. Nice to see someone trying Gentoo, it's a lovely metadistro.

I know the title of this thread is probably a typo, but every time I check the list of "Active Threads" and see it, I think that in my case it would mean waking up some morning and finding that all my *nix machines had been wiped clean and replaced by Windows.

Worse, it would be Windows Vista or -- shudders -- Windows Me.

Hell again. Been there, done that, don't want to go back.

I surely prefer Vista to 7. It had a working task bar.

yeah, totally a typo but probably looks a little menacing sat at the top of active threads
