Hello,
first I installed Gentoo with glibc and it worked fine, I got sway up and running but after some time I got bored and wanted something new. so I decided to go with Arch with rEFInd bootloader but I couldn’t make it work. Arch dropped me into a rescue shell. so I went back to Gentoo but this time with musl and this time I tried Hyprland on Gentoo. there were 133 packages to install for Hyprland, so I went for installing those packages but the build failed probably because using musl. now I thought I just pick that’s easy to setup and I went with Debian and it got installed successfully. so yeah, right now I am using Debian after the back and forth between Arch and Gentoo.
sadly I pissed of some Gentoo devs on IRC #gentoo :(
maybe it was my fault I shouldn’t have distrohopped when Gentoo was installed succesfully and working fine.
distrohoped
This should be a word. It would mean “trying yet another flavor because it might be The One”
Now nixos
I have tried nixos in the past and it just works and it’s surprisingly stable!

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
The adventures and perils of a Distronaut.
Easiest way of installing hyprland is a combo that only needs 30 min.
- Install Arch Linux with “archinstall”
- Don’t choose any DE or WM
- reboot and Log into just arch Linux commandline.
- choose one of these hyprland dotfiles devs from github with an install-script

PS. For your hopping experience: time to meet fedora.
I feel those who try gentoo, arch and nix wouldn’t accept the fedora compromise
I am an Arch guy, and my servers runs Fedora/Debian.
Then find out you cant stream stuff out of the box and find uburnu vor mint? :D ( i would recommend mint, just installed it on my desktop. Laptop still runs ubuntu)
distrocoped
“distrohoped”?
As in you hoped this next distro would be the one that worked well?
Sounds like S.O.P
To distrohope! Way to inadvertently coin a useful word.
All in a day’s work?
Yeah, I have distrohoped from morning to night. It’s 9:17 here.
I did it because I really want to learn Linux and want a job related to Linux. I am really obsessed with Linux and BSD
For refind on Arch, you have to fix the entries it creates in
/boot/refind.conf. Those point to the ISO drive when created in the chroot, so change them to point to your real root drive.Thanks, I didn’t know that, I thought
refind-installwas it.Glad to help :)
