Hey /g/uy!
I'm a drug abusing alcoholic that lurks /g/ and I want you to read this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page
All of it.
Buy a Chromebook
it comes with gentoo installed in the form of "ChromeOS" which im sure will fit your needs just fine

Nobody actually uses it.

If I can pontificate for your addification, one of the rules of the internet is "there are no girls in the internet". This rule does not mean what you think it means.
In real life, people like you for being a girl. They want to fuck you, so the pay attention to you and they pretend what you have to say is interesting, or that you are actually smart or clever. However on the internet, we don't have the chance to fuck you. This means the advantage of being a girl does not exist. You do not get a bonus to conversation just because I'd like to put my cock in you.
When you make a post implying "Hurr durr, I'm a girl", you are begging for attention. The only reason to post it is because you want your girl-advantage back, because you are too vapid or stupid to say anything interesting but this. You are forgetting the rule. There are no girls in the internet.
One exception to this rule, the one way you can gain your girlness back on the internet is to post your breasts. This is, and should be degrading for you and admission that the only interesting aspect about you is your naked body.
TL:DR: Tits or get the fuck out.

basically this
Installing Gentoo isn't hard unless you make it hard for yourself on purpose.
This can be accomplished in many ways:
1. Install Gentoo on a laptop
2. Install Gentoo in a virtual machine on a laptop
3. Install Gentoo in a virtual machine on a laptop, while trying to get the VLAN bridged to your WiFi card so that you can actually use the Internet from Gentoo.

>addification
Edification. Step up your copypasta game.
>>51661957
Getting that virtual machine to boot on bare metal is also an exercise in fun.
So far I haven't heard of Gentoo using any secureboot shim though.
>>51661992
do you run gentoo?
>>51660691
Now, as a Linux user I urge you to try out Linux first by using a LiveCD/LiveDVD version (they used to boot off CDs, but now you can put one on a usb and boot off it to a fully usable desktop with nothing written to your HDD).
As a gentoo user I urge you to try a different distro first. Gentoo has its uses, but one would use it pretty much only when one would require a very specific configuration that would be a pain in the ass to pull on a non-source distro.
If you're still set on installing Gentoo, then the step-by-step instructions are in the gentoo handbook: https://gentoo.org/get-started/
Note: while the handbook is comprehensive it's still fairly easy to fuck something up due to a typo. Especially when partitioning/formatting hard drives, so caution is advised.

who is this sausage hostage?
>>51662183
I tried to install Gentoo on Hyper-V on my laptop
needless to say it was impossible because Gentoo wouldn't recognize my VLAN bridged with my Wi-Fi card.
Nowadays I installed Fedora to a Hyper-V VM, which boots on bare metal using GRUB and the secureboot shim.

>what do you want to know so much about me
Tits or kill yourself
>>51662583
This is still flawed.
>recommending a newcomer any OS that is not Arch
How the fuck are niggas gonna learn with the Ubuntu "I don't need a terminal to use my Linux" way of life?

Well, not everyone can use the Light Side.
>Is the GUI stronger?
>No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
>>51662654
I have said this before but I think it's good to make people install easy distros first. It's a lot faster to use Arch when you already know what you want, since you have seen the end result before. If you start with Arch you might not get what you could be missing. It's not true in everyone's case but I still think it's a good way. You don't want to scare people away from Linux since it was so much harder than they assumed.
>inb4 lol arch hard, no it's not
>>51662978
>inb4 lol arch hard
Tbh Im kind of a Linux newbie and I started with Arch.
And it is hard. Very hard, if you come from 1 Month of Ubuntu after using Windows for 10 years.
I still don't understand a lot of stuff, but thanks to the MASSIVE Arch wiki and no DE I'm learning stuff at a much faster rate than any Ubuntu newbie using Unity possibly could.
So you are right, while Arch could scare away a few people because its hard this is still the best way to learn imo.
