    Also note that @temptorsent has rewritten all the nvidia ebuilds from scratch, and we're going to use these improved ebuilds as a basis for steam support. We're trying to launch the beta of these drivers today. I'll be testing to make sure that containers pick up and properly use the 32-bit nvidia libs that are required for GPU acceleration to work with steam.

    I saw the package on github, I'll test soon possible.

    From Version 6, released Feb 2 2019, SysrescCD is based on Arch Linux.  This doesn't necessarily mean we can't still use it as a liveCD or rescue cd in most cases, except I found a corner case where it doesn't work.  I happen to run several systems with encrypted LVM as described here.  I had the root volume on one system that needed an fsck journal repair.  I tried to decrpyt it with the lastest sysresccd and found that the cryptsetup/lvm in the sysresccd 6.0.2 could not see my unencrypted volumes.  I rebooted with the last gentoo based sysresccd, 5.3.2 from Nov 2018 and it worked no problem.  It may be that the arch linux kernel doesn't include as many cipher options the older gentoo based kernel as my partition is encrypted with the twofish-xts-plain64 cipher.

    There are some other changes that may make sysresccd less desirable as the default install livecd.  

    • no longer fits on an actual CD making the name sort of anachronistic.  I realize most people, myself included, put it on a 1-2GB usb stick instead, but it seems to needlessly foreclose on some older systems.
    • no more 32 bit support.  May not be a problem if funtoo is also dropping 32 bit support.
    • now inits with systemd instead of openrc, not sure if that would matter once chrooted during install, but maybe.  

    As time goes on the last gentoo based sysresccd is going to be pretty dated.  Is there a way to engineer metro to build livecds or something?  

    Use the Area31 Funtoo livecd -> https://area31.net.br/wiki/LiveCD_oficial

     

    is funtoo 1.3 based, we don't need gentoo based livecd anymore.

    Hello,

    I just wanted to reach out and say I have installed Steam using flatpak about 2 months ago and I have had zero issues. I know there is away of setting up an overlay and chrooting into a 32bit kernel but that seemed like way to much work. Performance has been fantastic, and even the new proton layer they have been working on seems to chug right along. If you have any questions or if you think maybe there is a a better way of accomplishing this task please let me know.

    Thanks,

    Shane

    that's really a good solution

     

  4. Here the second test with the iso, now fix the frozen on boot.

    in this test I'm compare the compress altenatives "xz" and "zstd", the first iso used "xz", and now I'll use "zstd", the result is more than 50% more faster than use xz, and little more than 10% more in size compared with xz.

    ### roadmap

    - fix the MBR(Bios) boot
    - create the grub theme
    - change the init to mont in overlayfs no more aufs
    - configure the Calamares(Installer)

    thx...

    ... pls ignore (but, any idea what's their differences?)

    searching again gives me some idea.

    Pure64, no 32bit programs...

    x86-64bit has 32bit compatibility layer.

    correct?

     

    x86-64bit could be multi-lib, pure64 no

    I'm new to Funtoo.  Also beginner with Gentoo.

    With "epro list", I noticed that there is "x86-64bit-papa".

    What's the difference with "x86-64bit"?

    Note, searching using Google with 'site:funtoo.org "x86-64bit-papa"' doesn't give any results with explanation.

     

    "x86-64bit-papa" is the parent of x86-64bit* profile.

     

    I wonder if was better change to pure64 as parent, I guess that will be better to understand.
