Everything just feels way more complicated than it needs to be.

I tried installing Openshot (a video editor) but I couldn’t figure out how to fix the error it spits out when I try to emerge it.

I will now try out Arch and hope I don’t need a master’s degree to install packages.

Edit: Gentoo isn’t the first distro I’ve tried, I’ve been daily driving Debian for more than a year and just wanted to try it out since I heard good things about it. And also I didn’t really need to use Openshot, I just wanted some video editor and arbitrarily chose to install that one.

Also I guess I will just stick with Debian since apparently Arch is also complicated.

    No way! 😱

    I’ll take a look at these distros, though I’m not really too much of a beginner anymore.

    I actually come from Debian, but I hopped distros in hopes of finding an even better distro.

      Gotcha! Enjoy your hopping then - just didn’t want someone to try out Linux for the first time on hard mode and give up

        Yeap, all new comers to linux should first try Gentoo, if it fails, then try LFS. After that, KISS linux should be a breeze

      I mean… It doesn’t have to be a competition, does it?

      Some people just want a stable system to work on. I kind of want to leave Ubuntu, I like mint and popos, but. They don’t always work out of the box like Ubuntu does for me. So I just change the dm to emulate other distros and it feels good enough.

      Am I doing it wrong?
