Basic Knowledge of Gentoo

What should I learn going into gentoo, I mostly use based distros. I've used garuda, omarchy, cachy, arch (failed), artix (gave up), endeavourOS and kali for IT. I have seen terms like flags and emerge, I want to know what they actually mean and any otger gentoo stuff that is good to know.

Is there a binary to install KDE Plasma (i only want the desktop) on Gentoo Linux?

(english not my first language lol lolollololol)

Hello everyone, ive recently got hooked into KDE Plasma by how customizable it is (and its also kde neon's fault lol) and i want to have it on my gentoo system, though the problem is that KDE is known for having long ass compile times, and since my machines are weak asf, i dont want to compile a tooon, so i was looking for a way to find a binary and also learn how to get more, since i dont really use binaries outside of firefox.

Thank you and have a nice day :3

Gentoo with OpenRC and elogind: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS never set after login

So, im new to gentoo and im havind some issues with dbus and pam

all services start correctly.XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set properly to /run/user/1000 by pam_elogind.so, but DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is never set after I log in.

here's some info ( i can provide more just need to know what)

/etc/pam.d/system-login
session optional pam_loginuid.so

session required pam_env.so envfile=/etc/profile.env

-session optional pam_elogind.so

-session optional pam_dbus.so

-session optional pam_openrc.so

session include system-auth

session optional pam_motd.so motd=/etc/motd

session optional pam_lastlog.so never showfailed

session optional pam_mail.so

- elogind is running, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 is created correctly

- pam_elogind.so exists at /usr/lib64/security/ and /lib64/security/

- No bus socket appears in /run/user/1000/ after login

also here are my use flags
USE=" -bluetooth -bluez -dvd -dvdr -cdr -cdda -cddb -optical -floppy -pcmcia -gps

\-systemd -seatd -webcam -gnome -kde -plasma -nvidia -amd -cups

Gentoo specifc kernel modules for kernel 7

I was trying to update to kernel 7.0 but it would always get stuck after loading the kernel, and I was wondering if theres anything I'm missing. I was just using the x86 default config with XFS support and nouvau drivers.
(using a thinkpad t61 with c2d t8300/geforce quadro NVS 140m)

may anyone explain to me …

… the difference between:

- sys-fs/bcachefs-tools

- sys-fs/bcachefs-kmod::guru

?

Seems like both ebuilds are pointing towards the same git repo (bcachefs-tools).

Will we ever get an -ai use flag?

I think this would be a good idea, especially since more software seems to be jumping in on the AI trend, and forcing it quite aggressively. It's always nice to have choice, so being able to set "-ai" in make.conf would be neat.

My first thought is for Firefox, and yes I know that browser.ml.enable exists, but that can be taken away at any moment. It's better to compile with or without ai features imo.

Ah, --depclean reclaimed some considerable amount of disk space ...good ...good...But I had to reinstall some pieces....

...and webkit-gtk is out of the window too....bloody hell....just one piece was holding that back ...irks ...

But the Ruby versioning bump is showing a few warnings...not that stopping anything, but it's annoying though...wondering

Global -O3, lto obviously.

Yeah, it's slow as shit.

(And no, I did not compile this locally, last time I tried the thing shut off after roughly 72 hours of trying to compile Telegram)

Is it possible to use a different kernel (FreeBSD) on gentoo?

If you need to install the linux kernel by making the system accept binary redistributables, can the same be done for the BSD kernel?
