Everyone, We are officially retiring 1.4-release in 2024, which means that if you have not yet done so, now is the time to upgrade to next-release. The official way to do this is to do a REINSTALL of Funtoo. You may be able to in-place upgrade from 1.4-release to next-release but THIS IS NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED so if you can't get it to work, you can ask on Discord for help unofficially but if you can't work through the various quirks you WILL need to reinstall. Really, a reinstall should be done unless you have a very specific reason why you can't. The Funtoo community is around to help with issues you may have with an upgrade, but just be aware of the possibility of hitting something that may warrant reinstall. For new installs of next-release, the Funtoo community as well as myself are available to assist you with issues you may encounter. Reach out on Discord in the #install-help channel.

I bet you are using 1.4-release, which has not been receiving updates recently and will no longer be maintained after the end of the year. If you install next-release, you will getting (almost) daily updates. Relevant links:

Hi @aitikin I understand the frustrations you're facing, and we're here to offer our support. If you could reach out to us on Discord in the #general channel, I'll be there to assist you personally – my username is Coffnix. I'm eager to hear your ideas about how we could improve the way you find solutions to your problems. Also, feel free to utilize this forum for any queries you might have. Just send over your questions, and we'll work together to find a resolution. Remember, at Funtoo, we're more than just a community of users – we're a network of friends ready to help each other out.

@aitikin I gave you a sarcastic answer as a response to your threat of: "But, frankly, if you send me ANY ONE SINGLE YouTube as a solution, I'm gone." I'm calling out your threat. Do you think that maybe your inability to find support could be related to your immature and ranting behavior, rather than any deficiency in our project and documentation?

Did that video help?

I'm posting this because, maybe I'm mistaken, but I can't see how I am. I come from a timeframe where being able to search forums and newsletters would allow me to often solve issues without having to wait and sift through hundreds, thousands, and sometimes millions of unrelated posts to find what the solution to said issues. It seems this community has moved further, and further, and further away from traditional support roles to the fad of (pardon my terminology, but it's accurate) bullshit discord as support or only YouTube. I'm running into a shit ton of emerge errors after an ego sync after the server was down for months and I cannot easily find what I need to know. It's probably a stupid simple solution, probably to a problem that was documented in the discord a dozen times, but I can't for the life of me find it. I don't know if I should be looking in, "install-help," which implies that it should be focused on the base install by its namesake. I can't tell if I should hunt through, "general," for it, though, of the options, that's the most sensible, I feel like it'd be the least useful. Maybe it should be, "development," but that seems like I, an end user, should never really be in that one... This has forced even worse misunderstanding. For me, it's forced freaking outrage to the point that I've yelled at the computer because I cannot figure out what the F*** I need to do and cannot find it in the forums and cannot find it in discord no matter how I go about searching. Genuinely, I appreciated ego and epro and the other funtoo tools I can't get in Gentoo proper. But the absolute F****** lack of responsible documentation and the fact that it feels like I'm meant to feel grateful for that, makes me want to not use funtoo anymore. Please, show me where my statements are completely inaccurate and how I can stay here. But, frankly, if you send me ANY ONE SINGLE YouTube as a solution, I'm gone. YouTube is not how I should be taught how to fix a bloody commandline issue. I shouldn't have to sift through a video that's even 4 minutes long to find a 20 second answer. I genuinely feel like funtoo is dying as a result of these decisions to make access to the knowledge contingent on using shit like discord and YouTube.
