I quite proficient with Linux. I'm looking to install Gentoo to have full control over my computer. As I look though the installation handbook for UEFI systems I do not understand much past "Installing the Gentoo base system." When installing Gentoo, do most people just copy and paste commands without understanding whta they do? I feel guilty doing this. I'd like to understand everything I'm doing. >Where can I find resources to learn to how to install Gentoo and know more about Linux? It's such a niche topic, YouTube tutorials are garbage, no books exist, and I don't know where to start.

>>16076 >There is no shame on using genkernel on your first install. Could never get genkernel to work for me. >>160741 The guide makes it harder than it needs to be. I usually just run `make localmodconfig` followed by `make menuconfig` and enabling lvm/luks + intel graphics. I then use genkernel to build an initramfs. Go to the Gentoo wiki page for what you need to know what kernel options to enable.

>>16074 If you are quite proficient with Linux , then what part of the Gentoo Handbook are you having trouble with ? Have you tried asking on the Gentoo Forums or Gentoo IRC ?, or even asking on #lainchan or #techsupport channels on the Lainchan IRC. Or looking at resources like the attached PDF ? or https://linuxconfig.org/installing-and-using-gentoo-linux-getting-started-guide-for-beginners or https://www.tecmint.com/gentoo-linux-installation-guide/ or looking at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable/LFS-BOOK-8.4-NOCHUNKS.html and comparing and contrasting what it does vs the Gentoo handbook ?
