That depends on what your goals are. And with Gentoo you can have a lot more elaborate goals than with other distros. Mine, for example, was to get rid of initramfs. I spent a week compiling and recompiling the kernel with different configurations before I was able to see a TTY for the first time.
Of course you can grab your distribution kernel and get default and perfectly safe use flags for everything, but, I would still be an Arch user if that was my jam.
I switched from Arch to Gentoo, for me it's just the next step of taking advantage of every last bit of my hardware. But unless you are seriously invested, I would never recommend Gentoo to someone. If you just want something that's up to date, go with Fedora. If you have some spare time, go with Arch. If you have no hobbies at all, go with Gentoo.
I wouldn't recommend vanilla Arch only because of the installation process. CachyOS that simplifies it is an extremely good pick for a person who already knows what a computer is, but wants to try a proper OS.
Arch mostly got it's reputation in the early days. Today some things are a lot easier to do on Arch than on other distros, especially because AUR exists. Also, it built one of the best wikis over all that time.
The one I compiled. The benefits are not that obvious. If you are not into that sort of stuff, I would not recommend it.
But yes, if you don't support as wide of a range of hardware, you can usually squeeze a bit more performance out of your kernel.
Although, most processing time is spent not in kernel code. There will be a difference of course, especially if you know where to look for it, but nothing groundbreaking most of the time.
Yes, but genereated pictures are deliberetly chosen to contain less elements that "AI" struggles with and human made ones contain quite a bit of bad anatomy ones just to confuse you. It also contains abstract art, which literally strips proper shapes from drawn objects and calls it a stylistic choice.
What I'm getting at is that it's not a random selection from both categories, they were hand picked. And in my opinion, the selection methodology favors generated art.
That's why we disable it and move everything that the program needs access to manually into the prefix, right?
Exactly. Kill la Kill is great not because it's horny, but because of everything else. Fanservice is just a candywrap. And when you have a candywrap without the actual candy (as with a lot of shows today), it fucking sucks.
I love my Gentoo, I'm a bit obsessed with optimizing everything I can. And I can't really do any of that with immutable distos. I'm contemplating very hard on using NixOS for my server, though.
Quite interesting, even though the dataset clearly favors generated art.
I'd say to each their own, but it's also a source of BDD for a lot of women. One specific body type usually being the center of sexual attention creates a fair bit of unnecessary expectations. Same as porn industry in general, be it real or drawn, creates very much comparable problems for men. Please look at real people from time to time, it helps.
Once a year I just poke at ChatGPT and try to solve some not so common task with it.
I'm a Linux user, last time I tried to forward a MIDI stream to Minecraft with the help of ChatGPT. On Pipewire, Java won't pick up any MIDI sources by default. I was going back and fourth with it for around an hour while it was trying to make me install software for different audio servers and was very confident that this is the correct way. When I get frustrated enough, I do my regular searching routine. In this case, 10 minutes of searching led me to this:
modprobe snd_virmidiI literally needed to modprobe one driver. Java starts to see Pipewire's MIDI bridge after that. Experiencing this once in a while makes me very confident that this thing would be extermely toxic for anything I do.
You can also ask it about something you are an expert at. The amount of stuff it gets wrong is insane.
