I use Funtoo Linux, Gentoo Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed (OT) on my HP Envy 17 laptop. openSUSE Tumbleweed is good for when I need the very latest software, such as GCC (as some of my C++ programs required GCC 6.x and later). I have also found a way to play RuneScape's NXT Client (RNC) on OT, but with the release of the 4.10 kernel I could not use Bumblebee to accelerate and improve the graphics of this NXT Client (as the proprietary NVIDIA driver could not compile against this version of the kernel), so I was stuck with Funtoo which uses an older kernel. While Funtoo and Gentoo I wanted as they are extensively customizable. Funtoo was my first source distro to be installed on this PC (outside a VM, that is) as I did find it easier to setup.

My Gentoo installation has been customized, most importantly with:


 * git being used to synchronize my local copy of the Portage tree (which is something it shares with my Funtoo install, Funtoo uses git to control the local copy of the Portage tree, by default).
 * systemd as its init system, instead of Gentoo's default, OpenRC.
 * KDE Plasma 5, as my desktop environment, which is started on boot. This is because  is enabled (to start on startup) with systemd and my  causes my user account to autologin.

I have my own website on Linux and other free operating systems, The Hornery.
