I have a very old computer at home and I therefore try to find a linux distribution that can get the most out of it. I consider to try a source-based distro like Gentoo, not Gentoo itself because from my experiences I found it too time-consuming to get things to work. Struggling and searching on distrowatch I found a distro I never heard about, namely "Lunar Linux". It is completely source-based but with the benefit of having an easy package manager and maintenance comparing to Gentoo, which is perfect!

One can read more about Lunar Linux here: [link]

Time to install this and hopefully I will come back with a couple of screenshots :)

Hello I'm curious about lunar linux too...want to try out in the future. But one quick question...have you used gentoo before? If so how would you rate gentoo vs lunar linux? Thanks.

I have just briefly tried Gentoo, I have not gained enough experience to give a reasonably significant difference between Lunar and Gentoo, more than what I stated in the text, i.e. I found Lunar a little easier to use. But, Gentoo have much better documentation and community than what I experienced with Lunar.

I am sorry, but I could not come with much better comparisons...

Interesting. I'm going to have to look at Lunar Linux. Your picture is making me hungry. That food looks so good.
