gentoo-install VS distros

Sure, it's the oddlama's script

Has anyone here tried the gentoo-install script (https://github.com/oddlama/gentoo-install)? If so, is it a viable way to install Gentoo?

I think this is all that is needed https://github.com/oddlama/gentoo-install

I know of a TUI installer and another one , and it can be automated using ansible too.

Thanks for this very nice script! Until today I've been using https://github.com/oddlama/gentoo-install which is also made very nicely. I appreciate your work!

Have you seen gentoo-install?

Here's gentoo-install, if you want it. No idea how usable/flexible it is, though.

Oddlama's tool

There's a Gentoo installs script out there that I've tried and it worked : https://github.com/oddlama/gentoo-install

I guess I'll keep posting comments about https://www.calculate-linux.org/

Having started with Linux using Gentoo - after some attempted excursions into Debian/Ubuntu, then at work CentOS and even few months of having to use Slackware on servers until I finally convinced my boss that his T50-something Thinkpad will do same or better on Gentoo ... (and he won't need to manually chase up dependencies).

And even thought already for years compiling most of the things doesn't take that long. Just for not having to compile bunch of packages where I'm using standard/default config - I've tried Sabayon (back when it was still almost kind of Gentoo), went back to Gentoo ...

And then for almost a decade now - I've been extremely happy with https://www.calculate-linux.org/

https://www.calculate-linux.org/ does

Also don't overlook Calculate Linux as an option for getting into Gentoo using a GUI installer, pre-configured desktops, and a binary package repo for most of the common linux packages -- yet giving you a standard Gentoo system to work with. Apparently you would be interested in the Gnome Edition.

If we follow that project car metaphor - https://www.calculate-linux.org/ is project car where you can get all parts pre-machined (already compiled) and you can still customize bits and pieces, or even whole thing.

That said - it's default config/profile and use flags are such that it's rare some package needs to be compiled.

Mb you want to try this https://www.calculate-linux.org/ It's rebranded Gentoo with precompiled packages.

Calculate Linux

The best of all worlds, for the OP, may be Calculate Linux which provides binaries for most packages while still allowing any package to be installed from the massive gentoo repositories (including overlays such as those for Common Lisp and Haskell).
