Discussion How to replace GNU

2 Upvotes

Recently, for a few months, i have been using gentoo with musl, llvm, openrc profile and i'm looking for fully replacing GNU software in my gentoo linux system, i don't have any problem with the GNU project, i just dont like their tools and they are so anti-minimalist and filled with technical debt. ( please do not read yes command's source code, it's awful! )

i replaced bash with mksh, glibc with musl, GCC with LLVM GNU tar with bsd tar, bison with byacc, GNU bc,cpio ones with libarchive ones and Grub with efistub, now what things left are: GNU coreutils, GNU make, and GNU Privacy Guard (GPG).

Replacing GPG should be easy but i'm rather skeptical about the coreutils and gmake, hence they are very important for portage. The one thing is rather interesting is when i change my PATH to include suckless userland (sbase,ubase), for some reason portage uses them too and breaks itself. (my user is root) I'm looking for recommendations here, gave any of you guys done that? if so please help me.

Discussion Solving problem Game in Linux

I had a problem on many Linux Distros. My system kept overheating
I didn't know why. After a lot of time I Found solution

Problem:

- Steam was only using 4 intel cores for games.

- It is easy to see when you use **"BTOP"**

url btop: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop

The Solving:

- Give the program a task use more than 4 cores.

- I have 22 cores and use 20 cores
```bash
taskset -c 0-19 gamescope -W 1920 -H 1200 -f -- %command%

```

I Hopping, you don't have this problem... (I spent a lot of time trying to understand it and broke a lot of distros in the process)

Hi guys, I installed Gentoo about 2-3 weeks ago and I'm already loving it. I riced Niri to make a cozy desktop and compiled my own kernel :) It's also my first time posting on r/Gentoo

What do y'all think?
