My per package useflags laugh at you

Like I said, "completely fucking pointless."

But, but, have you ever wanted to install ffmpeg without any video codec support before? I GUESS NOT.

And then you update, and package 5 dependencies down now hard-requires flag Xyz, but you explicitly added -Xyz to other package. Congrats, now you need to remove that flag and rebuild half of @world

also I am sure you underappreciate the work that went into making of tails. There are so many little things going on you'd have to add, it's pretty pointless since that distro isn't everyday use anyway. Just start real tails from pendrive.

I've never came across this issue. If a package requires a specific dependency that I specifically disabled on another package I've never had to recompile both of them, let alone world. Now if a package updates thst other packages use, sure i just run @preserve-rebuild which updates them from the old lib to the new lib. Not sure the last the you used portage but its come a long way for resolving dependencies.

As for tails I've never used it. But Linux is Linux, of you tried hard enough you can replicate those changes on any distro. Likewise with de/wm, and applications. Me mentioning gentoo for every answer was more of a troll than anything else cause all other distros can do the same.

Started off with ubuntu, currently running Arch along with i3wm. It's been nice so far almost have everything configured the way I want. Working on learning bash & python currently & some web development.

Edit: I would recommend Ubuntu & get the feel of everything first. Run a week without using terminal for anything & after the first week see how long you can go with only terminal for all tasks. After a while you will see how amazing it is & do almost everything from terminal :)

Since you are new the main tip I would give you is if a command fails check spelling. Upper/lowercase letters
