Noob. Back in my day, I needed 7 (seven) days to compile my custom kernel (1.x without RLL and MFM support) and when I booted it, it often panic’d lol.

  1. Spend three days downloading and trying it distros
  2. Pick arch
  3. Sudo pacman install tmux, htop, {emacs, vim, nvim depending on your alignment}
  4. Get your tmux and editor configs just right
  5. Get into an argument on the "Discussion" section of Arch Wiki about your tmux hot keys
  6. Share your htop screenshots on social media (and by social media I mean ~~old reddit~~ Lemmy and your IRC group with the 1 other IRC user who hasn't left yet)
  7. Pacman install Firefox

You can shorten this list of flags to -DuN. For comedic effect you can run emerge -DuN -DuN -DuuuN @world

Dear god, just yesterday I had to wait pretty much an entire day just for ungoogled-chromium to compile, and I have 8 cores with 16GB of ram. I can't imagine having to do that with just 2GB of ram with 4 cores.
