Well memed.

This has gone too far

Do you think you could get the libre version FSF endorsed?

Isn't this a 4chan meme distro?

yeah, it's garbage just like gentoo but people use it anyways for the lulz

...

Surely your know that Holla Forums is a cuckchan sanctuary city, right?

It started on Holla Forums.

It's a Gentoo image that has PORTAGE_BINHOST="cloveros.ga" in the /etc/portage/make.conf and packages built with CFLAGS="-Ofast -mmmx -mssse3 -pipe -funroll-loops -flto=8 -floop-block -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -ftree-loop-distribution" Gentoo is hands down the best Linux distro and CloverOS only makes this perfection easier to achieve.

Wow, stock Gentoo with twm installed is 100% worth making 'another' distro.
Now even brainlets like me who are too dumb to install, let alone maintain, Gentoo can post cool screenfetch images!

During the install you get to choose what WM or DE? you want.

Must be a new feature, I don't recall. Window Maker and twm are the only good choices anyway.

The original started before Holla Forums existed. The current incarnation was started by someone who post both here and on /g/ and if I remember correctly owns Holla Forums /g/ or had it at some point.

It's been a feature for a while. The last time I tried it was last summer.

I'm busy today, but then I'll revive the old CloverOS install script I had (gives install choices/selections/additional packages and sheit) and actually test it.

this tbh fam, it's real good shit. Too bad I never got any gentoo-based livecd to ever boot. I still use the cloveros setup on a normal gentoo box. Gentoo is the only stable os out there, and with the clover.ga binhost, the complaints about muh compile times, the only downside of gentoo, is moot.

If they want FSF endorement they will have to discontinue all versions with any proprietary software or documentation that enables installation of said software.

Then how come trisquel is fsf approved when ubuntu exists???
Checkmate atheists.

The Ubuntu team maintains a list of non-free software that they encourage for users. Trisquel does not do that.

Exactly. Thanks for proving your own point wrong.

I think you're conflating CloverOS's binary repo with the entire Portage tree.

Was this a good idea?

But why? Aren't the servers fast enough?
I might happen to know someone who's running a 10 Gbps+ mirror of open source software, I'll see if I can convince him to mirror...

Good argument.

Among other things it should allow for autoscaling load-balancing shouldn't it? This means we can have 100 commodity machines doing the work of 10 high-end networks. It means even on a home network you can help host packages. Correct me if I'm wrong.
