There is glsa-check for you.

I daily-drive Gentoo on my main rig. A binary-repository exists now. You can still decide where you want different use-flag settings and save a lot compile time.

Only for machines I don't actively use (servers) or rarely use, I have Debian stable installed.

Seriously, I want that purple fur suit now. Where can I buy one?

This is the way.

I see, it's tricky. I'll have a look in to the Arch wiki, thx.

How do you achieve the deniable encryption on you Linux machine?

I think gnome-console is the new default. At first, I was sceptical and stayed on gnome-terminal, but now gnome-console seems stable, fast and simple to replace it for me.

I have used other terminal emulators with different DEs, though.

I wonder whether gnome-tweaks can already be replaced by Refine.

I manually add receipts from my partner and myself to a CSV file, too. I have a custom R scripts to calculate the monthly contribution. This way we can see who paid more/less each month and needs to componsate.

In the future I want to plot graphs to see how we are affected by inflation over the past years.

Same. I've compiled a custom variant of Iosevka for terminal and code, because I want to have some chars in a certain way, especially the 0 and the & for even better readability. I used to have Monoid for code and terminal, but it the pixel perfect size for 12pt was getting too small for me and my eyes are not getting any better. Iosevka looks better even after some hinting by the OS.

On the rest of the desktop UI I use B612, because it is very ledgible, I recently switch over from the hyperledible Atkinson font. Before that I had Gidole on the desktop. Very pleasing, but not that readable at same font size.

You're young. I switched jobs and profession twice already. For me, it was the other way around and back again. Came from programming (10 years) then Linux adminstration (2 years) and decided to do Geography. Studied it and the programming skills helped me there, too.

There is always something you can take with you to the next job or profession.

I wasn't lucky to get a job where I can use my Geography studies so I am now almost 2 years in web programming. I did not have much experience in the field, but I found a place where my Linux adminstration knowledge is useful and I improved web backend programming skills (PHP) on the job.

Soft skills count, too. Reliablity, ability to work in a team. Recruiters look for those things.

And btw. I got my Linux knowledge initially only from personal unpaid studies and projects in my free time.

I bookmarked this one, because I didn't get this one and hope I will understand it in the future.

I used that combination, too. But I have settled for only the useless gaps extension for now. PaperWM was behind Gnome version too long and now I have seen there is Niri getting better and better. I will switch someday, I guess. It has the same concept as PaperWM, but is a scrollable/linear WM from the ground up.

 

I am looking for a distro that is based on Gentoo or is heavily inspired by it. I am a long-time Gentoo user and Debian on system where I don't have the time to maintain it. I love the flexibility of Gentoo, but although my hardware keeps up, I find my self often not willing to wait hours for an update on my main machine. I am glad that there are some binary packages for some programs and I use flatpak, too. But even though, updates take too long, time I want to spend using my computer. I thought of going to Debian everywhere, because it is stable and does not move too fast regarding major updates. So, Arch-based distros are no option for me.

Can someone of the community recommend any Gentoo-based distros?
