I would like to speak about my entire system’s configuration today, in terms of the programs I use the most often. I will start with the least obvious (that is the OS or Linux distribution) and go on to the most obvious (programs you run after the booting process is complete). I split this article into 3 main sections: Continue reading Open Source Programs I Use Most Often
For about one week or a little bit more, I have been thinking about distro-hopping again. I have enjoyed myself on Gentoo, I really have. I discovered USE FLAGS, C FLAGS, an almost flawless documentation, compiling every program from source, overlays (which are the equivalent of the Arch AUR, if you aren’t familiar with them), and countless other features which are specific to Gentoo. Continue reading Distro-Hopping Again: Confronting Distributions & Their Philosophies
As I was recently suggested by one of my YouTube subscriber, I would like to explain how to install Gentoo. I will do every step I describe in a Virtual Machine, so that it is more clear for you. To get some more information regarding my Gentoo adventures, check out my other blog posts about Gentoo. You can also follow along with the Gentoo official documentation. For this guide, I will assume that all of you intend to work with a stage 3 tarball. If you wish to install Gentoo from a stage 1 or 2, this guide is not meant for you, since I consider you are in no need of my help at the level you have reached.

This will be another short post, since I have an announcement to make. Do not worry, I still love blogging just as much as at the beginning. However, I want to protect myself from growing tired of it. Metaphorically, I do not want to burn my wings too quickly, since my journey is supposed to have barely started. Continue reading My Latest Videos & Thoughts As A Blogger
My Dearest Mad-Readers, We are in for a short post today. Writing my Gentoo Installation Guide has been really time-consuming and, for those of you who are eagerly waiting for its release, let me proudly tell you that it is finished. I still need to proofread it and shoot the YouTube videos for those of you who will prefer following this adventure of mine on … Continue reading Piece Of News
Once upon a time, a fervent Arch Linux advocate desired to switch to Gentoo. Not only his own kin had recommended it to him, but his research had also led him to believe that it was the promised land from his wildest dreams. Yet he never once had dared and taken the first step on that formidable journey. His eternal thirst for knowledge, but also his quest toward absolute freedom eventually succeeded in convincing him. This is how, after many a year roaming through the Arch realm, dear Phil Wayne made up his mind and took the plunge down the rabbit hole, straight into the abyss of Gentoo Land. Continue reading Down The Gentoo Hole
The day has finally come for me to take a drastic step as a Linux user. A step I have been waiting to take for long enough. If you have read the title, you must have guessed it : As I am writing these very lines, my time on Arch Linux is running to an end. Goodbye my dear friend! The adventure has been memorable, and you will always remain in my heart. Yet I need to move forward and quench this insatiable thirst for knowledge of mine. I need even more freedom. I need Gentoo. Continue reading From Arch Linux To Gentoo
j’aimerais essayer de définir avec vous les différents niveaux (ou paliers) d’utilisation de GNU/Linux. Bien naturellement, vous êtes libres de ne pas être d’accord Continue reading 10 niveaux pour les utilisateurs de GNU/Linux
