Noob. Back in my day, I needed 7 (seven) days to compile my custom kernel (1.x without RLL and MFM support) and when I booted it, it often panic’d lol.
Dear god, just yesterday I had to wait pretty much an entire day just for ungoogled-chromium to compile, and I have 8 cores with 16GB of ram. I can’t imagine having to do that with just 2GB of ram with 4 cores.
Spend three days downloading and trying it distros
Pick arch
Sudo pacman install tmux, htop, {emacs, vim, nvim depending on your alignment}
Get your tmux and editor configs just right
Get into an argument on the “Discussion” section of Arch Wiki about your tmux hot keys
Share your htop screenshots on social media (and by social media I mean old reddit Lemmy and your IRC group with the 1 other IRC user who hasn’t left yet)
no, no, no its too easy, Wheres the terminals? and the long compile time.
(this post was written partially from and intel compute stick running gentoo, which started compiling 7hours ago and still is)
mmmm tasty 2GB of ram

You can shorten this list of flags to -DuN. For comedic effect you can run
emerge -DuN -DuN -DuuuN @worldDear god, just yesterday I had to wait pretty much an entire day just for ungoogled-chromium to compile, and I have 8 cores with 16GB of ram. I can’t imagine having to do that with just 2GB of ram with 4 cores.
