       You know what's really great about #Gentoo?When everyone around you is like "you're obsolete, #Flatpak is the thing, #snap is the thing, upstream #packaging is the thing"…You can just shrug and tell them you don't care. You're not on corporate payroll, you don't have to do whatever cool kids do, you don't have to make IT worse for easy profit.You just do things the way your users want them done. Uncool kids are important too.

       @mgorny I'm happily using #Gentoo for years now, and to my experience it is actually a lot more stable than more 'user friendly' distro's.Sure, it takes awhile to get a system running (depending on the amount of optimization), but once it runs, it has felt really stable as everything is build from source, against its dependencies, instead of living on its own island.Also, underdogs do sometimes become the cool kids at some point :)

       @oddly, thanks.While I don't want to be negative, when uncool things become cool, rather the opposite happens -- cool kids change their interests and come to destroy the niche culture. Makes me think of that "our own hole" comic.
