Hey y'al, I'm on an LG Gram 17 2021. I am going to attempt most of this myself (as that's kind of the point). However, last time I did for some reason my wifi interface, here known as wlp0s20f3, didnt work. Another install of Gentoo has a similar issue but all I had to do was modprobe iwlwifi and build iwlwifi as a module. Tedious but workable. However, I haven't had to do the iwlwifi modprobe with the bin kernel which is nice and I'd like to continue not having to do so.
On my current install, I used the Gentoo Bin Kernel (gentoo-kernel-dist) and ideally I want to use the most recent, 5.16, kernel if possible. I plan on mostly using this device for work, which involves the use of my webcam. Otherwise I'm trying to get into developing for the linux kernel and am following the Kernel Newbies guide.
I have some experience with and would like to continue also making use of embedded development, so access to serial and gpio is needed too. Despite not having an amd chip or graphics, I usually make use of software like mupdf and etc that use the amd64 flag so I guess I'd include that too, but I would like to minimize it. I dont really plan on using emacs but some packages appear to have dependancies on it and while I mostly use vim I'm open to exploring emacs more.
I will post several pastebin links with more specific info of my system. I think I can handle this but when it comes to the wifi and my Intel Iris Xe graphics things arent as clear. Again, I will try to do most of this myself and am not trying to get someone to do all the work for me. That said, please free to contribute as much as you wish! I will hoping back and forth here today but I have email notifs on and am on the libreIRC as ibrown39.

Try again, then ask.
wlp0s20f3 is an horrible name; if you like, you can disable udev interface renaming.

Stop reinstalling when something is wrong.
Almost everything can be changed or fixed at later time.

amd64 is the architecture.
It means x86-64, both AMD and Intel.

Strange. Which one? Double check.
While doing kernel configuration, use lspci -nnk, lsusb and lsmod.
Give a look to: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1146803-highlight-.html?sid=
package.license file can be tweaked to allow installation of some closed-source programs, with a more careful approach (see man portage). |
