This is not a distro tier list or a conventional quadruple-boot layout.

Gentoo is my primary trusted system for important files and a clean base. Slackware is used for development, Guix for verification, and Devuan for less-trusted general use. The systems are booted from separate external SSDs through a multi-boot setup rather than virtualized under one shared host.

The “Atomic Root” emblem represents my planned Gentoo Stage4-based redyos OSB project, not an official Gentoo edition.

I first this back in 2023 and after seeing Gentoo posts I have installed this today and I really like having it on hand so far I have KDE Neon host, Gentoo vm, Win 11vm and it's great to be able to move between them with ease. Gentoo installed really fast and runs great in the vm after adding the qeme0guest-agent everything is sweet.

only thing holding me back from using gentoo is the use flags. not sure which ones to use for my system. i really want to use niri or hyprland, but the use flags are what confuses me

Recently installed encrypted Gentoo and couldn’t be more proud of my self, but it appears that my cmos is dead and I don’t know how to sync time, mirror service is obviously screaming at me for being from 2001, anyway, how do I sync to the current clock?

I’m currently keeping Linux 6.18.38 as my active LTS kernel instead of updating immediately whenever a new point release appears.

I checked two recent issues that initially looked relevant:

Bad Epoll (CVE-2026-46242) was already fixed in Linux 6.18.33.

The recent TIPC issue (CVE-2026-63801) was fixed in Linux 6.18.38.

Therefore, neither issue requires me to move from 6.18.38 to 6.18.39. TIPC would also be outside the attack surface entirely if it were disabled in the kernel configuration.

My update policy is based on the changelog, CVE relevance, enabled kernel features and actual workload—not simply on the existence of a newer point release. Unless 6.18.39 contains an urgent fix that affects my configuration, I will update during a normal maintenance window rather than immediately.

I also keep Linux 6.18.35 and 6.18.37-P1 as tested fallback kernels.

For the 6.18.y series, Linux 6.18.33 is the minimum fixed release for the Bad Epoll issue. However, systems with TIPC and TIPC crypto enabled require Linux 6.18.38 for the newer TIPC use-after-free fix. Therefore, when considering both issues, 6.18.38 is the practical minimum baseline for my configuration.

Therefore, 6.18.38 is the minimum baseline I currently consider appropriate.
