Activity Log:


Hey there! I just wanted to share some exciting news with you all. After three months of hard work and determination, I finally completed a fully functional wireless networked Gentoo OS on my laptop! It feels amazing to see all of my efforts pay off.

I wanted to share the commands I used in case anyone else is working on a similar project and could benefit from them. And of course, I'll be sure to keep you updated on any other exciting developments. Thanks for being a part of this journey with me!
