Gentoo website ~August 2001
March 3 2002 public facing movement was easily spotted.
March 31 2002, 1.0 was finally released!
The huge influx of new users it encouraged caused bandwidth issues for Gentoo.

Full installation could be completed in under an hour!
2004, marked a change from the dot releases.
2004.0 released February 28, 2004.

Despite that work continued. 2004.1 was released shortly after that news, dot 2 in July and dot 3 in November.
September 2005, the first Gentoo Council was elected.
Daniel Robbins makes his glorious return to the project!
This lasted about 8 days before he resigned again.
Other developers joined Robbins.

If you read the directions 😉, they tell you the API doesn't handle the sync. You have to sync your folders with the Nextcloud client.
Dave from Discord
How could one share a Passkey with a team? Dan thinks Bitwarden might be the answer.
n.m on the Year of The Linux Desktop
Maybe? Most importantly, it should be the Year of Linux for you. The Livestream playback now has timestamps!
kynize wants to know if AI will make the desktop faster
It seems unlikely that AI will use less resources. With dedicated hardware we might not notice. It does aim to make the user experience better though.

Tukanni Linux Project was officially gone
LZMA Utils was left behind in favor of the similarly LZMA-backed Xz Utils.
version 5.0 is the transition from LZMA to XZ.
Some distributions would eventually migrate to using Z Standard compression, including Arch in 2019 and Fedora and Ubuntu would make the switch in 2020.
A new face, Jigar Kumar, shows up.
January 7th, 2023, Jia Tan was finally able to merge their own commits to Xz on Github.
Jia tries to convince the OSS-Fuzz team to accept a patch that disabled Indrect Function.

Bruce Hankins on Why Don't You Use Linux (4:11)
Two categories of users, average users and power users.
Average users don't really tinker.
Power users like to tinker (this is where Leo and Dan fall as well as many of you) but there is a small amount of us.
Installation of the system and applications is not intuitive.
Jayden on Why Don't You Use Linux (4:11) AAAAAAND a Note Suggestion
Gnome with gestures and multi-touch are great.
