Hi everyone,
Over the last little while I've been inspired to improve the Gentoo WSL
experience. My end goal here is to get a Gentoo image distributed via
the Windows Store which can be installed with minimal user interaction.
So far it's looking pretty successful: using the stage3-openrc-desk

Energy usage will likely be higher, but that's offset by the cost of

Really it's going to come down to what your requirements are

Doesn't that mean that best practice would be to just ditch "net-dns/

That is correct. The package now even says as much (since about 12
