Well, I could be wrong, but I think Unix (IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Xenix, etc.) might also be Unix-like.

I would figure it would be just the opposite: that you’d want to try Gentoo specifically for gaming, in order to wring every last FPS out of the system. At least, that was part of my motivation back in the day (despite Proton not being a thing yet, IIRC I could at least play some games on Linux back then).
I think of Gentoo like the Fast and the Furious-esque customized sports coupe you drive when you’re young to try to impress your friends. In contrast, I’m at the point where I can’t be bothered anymore, so I drive the boring minivan of distros, Kubuntu. Point is: try Gentoo sooner rather than later, while you still give a shit. (Edit: of course, with a username like @MidsizedSedan, it might already be too late, LOL)
They’re on the good drugs.
Well, yeah, but that’s what you sign up for when you choose to use Gentoo. Custom-compiling every app, every time, with your chosen USE flags, is the advantage of it. (I suppose Gentoo has “binary packages” available now, but at that point I don’t see why you wouldn’t just pick Arch instead to begin with.)
Also, that’s another reason you should update frequently (e.g. daily or weekly): to keep compilation times reasonable by only ever updating a few packages at once.
Also also, as I said, I last used Gentoo two decades ago. Even back then, I found the compilation times… uh, at least “tractable.” 😅 I can only assume that with modern hardware they’re not bad at all, as for the most part, processing power has scaled faster than FOSS code complexity.
Yes, you recompile each time you update.
In general, to upgrade an app you do:
root # emaint --auto sync
root # emerge --update $PACKAGE_NAME
(That first command used to just be something like root # emerge --sync
when I last used Gentoo, two decades ago. I wonder why they changed it?)
“Ew” what? The fighting over MBFC was a big deal for a long time. If he was here, it’s hard to believe he wouldn’t have noticed it.
In my case, it’s less about being able to open more Firefox tabs and more about Firefox being able to go longer between crashes due to a memory leak. (I know, I know… Firefox doesn’t have memory leaks anymore. It’s probably due to an extension or some bad JavaScript in one of my perpetually-open sites or something. One of these days I’ll get around to troubleshooting it…)

LOL, not a chance unless you were straight-up absent that whole time.
That’s all you can do.
It’s not “all” you can do, though. At what point does “eco-terrorism” turn into “justified self-defense?”
The way Kroger works is that they absolutely ream you with the price-gouging if you don’t let them track your purchases through your “kroger plus” card. It doesn’t matter if you pay with cash or not.
If by “racist” you mean “not actively anti-racist,” then yes.
There are a lot of people who don’t act in a bigoted/discriminatory way themselves, but who also ignore/deny/fail to understand structural/institutional racism. Since the latter is what this comic is about, that might be the category you fall into.
And Honda was working on hydrogen nearly 30 years ago now, which seems poised to suplant batteries (again, maybe).
LOL, no. Hydrogen has never been anything but a greenwashing scam. Even if it were all produced from electrolysis (and to be clear, it isn’t – the vast majority is produced from fossil fuels), it would still be stupidly cumbersome to deal with compared to adding some carbon to it to make synthetic gasoline.
The fascists are already dismantling the CFPB. I’m sure the FTC will be on the chopping block soon, too.
So who’s going to stop them when they flagrantly ignore the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and refuse to honor your warranty for having your car serviced somewhere other than a dealer?
I was “suspended” (by the admins, from the whole site – not just banned by mods from a particular subreddit) because I accurately reported misinformation in r/conservative and the snowflake mods whined that it was “report abuse.”
My variable (usage-based) utility bills are sent as “e-bills” to my bank, so the bank’s bill pay system can pay them anyway. I can even set it up to pay in full up to some limit, so it doesn’t blindly pay if the bill is outrageous due to some mistake.
Further infuriating is I have to re-add my bank info to yet another third party system.

Either that, or it’s not selling out to corporate exploitation/AI like Github is and the ancaps hate that.
If we’re talking about “most people… switching” then IMO the real biggest factor is when their distro will decide to use it by default.
They claim they fall under the Presidential Records Act, but they’re lying.
