first ever linux rice: the processes & result

Hello and welcome to the first ever blog,
I finally got my first ever linux rice in my laptop. Before we begin...

...what is rice? well in computing terms, its where you customize the OS to improve look and/or workflow.

Linux has lots of OS (what we like to call 'distros') and I got LOTS of recommendations for gentoo linux, I am very aware enough to know arch and the reason I didnt pick it cuz its overrated, so hence gentoo linux. Although, lots of these recommendations comes from ionic1k's server where they mostly use gentoo.

how will id like my linux distro to be riced:

• make it feel retro (windows 3.1 style), with a linux twist
• a stacking window manager
• mild-user-friendly distro
• making it look cool B)

the processes

Before installing it into the old laptop (bc it still transferring data to another disk), I use VirtualBox to see if I can install it with the help of a yt tutorial as of writing this its very late like 10pm. This one command im runng is

emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --changed-use @world

which I heard from the tutorial that it takes a while.

17/12/2025: a little update, I have to do this AGAIN and its night so im doing it tommorow and update this blog after I sucessfully install it...
