“I remember when I first started using Gentoo (back in the
Gentoo 1.4 days), the community activity was just amazing. Each and
every day or week, there was always something new and exciting
going on in the Gentoo community. I looked forward to the GWN
(Gentoo Weekly Newsletter) coming out each week, so I could try to
catch up on what I might have missed or not even realized was
happening. Sure, the other Linux users would say, ‘Gentoo, that’s
for ricers,’ but at least Gentoo was still regularly mentioned in a
fairly positive manner.“Fast forward to today. What happened to my beloved
Gentoo…?”
