I installed Gentoo alongside Debian and Windows, took me an entire day ๐
Also I saw on distrowatch that there is an open source OS on development that can run Windows stuff natively (.exe programs and all these things), It's called ReactOS. I tried installing it on my PC but the USB just wouldn't boot :(
And this isn't from my weekend but I discovered that I absolutely love the KDE Classic cursors for some reason. I guess it's because they are so simple and kinda give retro vibes.
Gentoo! I am a Gentoo user, too. How do you like it so far?
And don't worry about your first install taking an entire day, my first install took me two days...
It's being a good experience so far, though I do have to say that installing stuff in portage is not as straightforward as for example apt, since packages take a while to install and sometimes there is "masked" stuff which takes me a few extra steps to install.
Also googling stuff about Gentoo seems to flood the results with "how to install Gentoo" which is kinda inconvenient, but not really Gentoo's fault.
Well I'm only saying negative stuff about it but I genuinely am enjoying the experience.
