Re: [gentoo-user] What do you think about Firefox 57?

Hi, I feel like firefox 57 is an awesome release, it's finally competitive with chromium in terms of speed. It also looks a lot better than older ff versions ( IMO ). It's kinda sad that they broke the addon compatibility, but I guess that was required for progressing. Regards, Rasmus

Re: [gentoo-user] Question on install

Hello, I'm pretty certain that switching to the hardened profile won't cause any slot conflicts, it pretty much just enables some compiler flags ( PIE ( it's enabled in not-hardened profiles since 6.3.0 too iirc ) , stack hardening, fortify source, RELRO ) and hardening flags on a few packages

Hi, make sure you have XFS compiled into the kernel ( not as module), or include it into the initramfs ( dunno how you would do that with genkernel though, I don't use an initramfs ). Grub should include a line saying root=xxx, maybe you have to set rootfstype, had to do that for BTRFS. Also
