Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot
grue@lemmy.world 15 hours agoI don’t necessarily disagree with the first sentence (fan of Gentoo; never used Arch), but the second sentence is not helping its case.

I don’t have to love ChromeOS to acknowledge that it’s a sold OS that’s commercially viable and that’s only possible because of the solid Gentoo base it’s built on.

Your Freudian slip is right, LOL.
Tap for spoiler
> it’s a sold OS
Anyway, sure, Gentoo is a good choice to build on, but picking an evil thing as the example doesn’t exactly endear one to your POV, emotionally speaking. Besides, SteamOS is based on Arch, so the notion that Gentoo is strictly “better” (not equal) to Arch on the basis of being used to make distros for commercial products isn’t very persuasive.
I’m not saying you’re wrong about Gentoo being good. I’m just saying the supporting argument is a weak one, and doubling down by saying that sort of thing is “only possible” with Gentoo is even weaker.
