Lua error in Module:DistributionInfobox at line 21: data must be either of type string or number.
Gentoo Linux is a source-based Linux distribution, aimed around be how you want it to be. This distro aside having the systemd init system, also provides its own init system, known as OpenRC.
Unlike other Linux distributions, everything you make is to be compiled. As such, users can compile their system in the way they want it to be.[1]
Their unofficial mascot is Larry the Cow, a cow who was once frustrated at the state of Linux distributions until he found Gentoo Linux.[1]
Portage
Portage is the package manager for Gentoo Linux, it provides many configuration options based off of Bash, an example make.conf can be found here.
Trivia
- You can find Larry the Cow by running
emerge --mooon the command line.
