Don't know about email, but windows 8 would create dynamic tiles out of pictures on your computer and pin them in the start menu.

[-] frippa@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, but you'll need to compile it from source

STAGE ZERO!

I did that. Unironically, I just said fuck it, I'll give it a shot.

And... it just works. Like updates kinda fuck up a bit after not using it for a bit (I didn't have time to use my desktop lately), but everything works great.

I'm sure I could get mostly the same experience with Arch, but it's just fun to flag off entire parts of software from even compiling. Also OpenRC is great.

I can stream Steam games, which works much better on Gentoo than Ubuntu with the same hardware.

Gentoo is not a meme, the compiles on modern CPUs are fast, software is wonderfully packaged, and I will not use anything else on my desktop ever.

I know, my dad used gentoo in his glory days on pentium machines probably spending days compiling Firefox. Gentoo is way less of a meme now than what it was then. It's actually a good distro if you want control.
