exGENT (Gentoo) Rpi4 for Raspberry Pi 4 with LXDE, NetworkManager, Gimp, SMPlayer, Vivaldi Browser and kernel 4.19.113-exton-v8 :: Build 200410
ABOUT exGENT Rpi4
Ive built a Gentoo system for Raspberry Pi 4. Just for fun, but it took me four days to compile everything from scratch. Six days if I include failed attempts to install Firefox and Chromium. exGENT Rpi4 is a full Gentoo/Linux Desktop system with LXDE ("an extremely fast-performing and energy-saving desktop environment"). The most important apps are NetworkManager, Gimp (photo editor), SMPlayer and the Vivaldi Browser "From the creators of Opera, a browser that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first."
HOW DO I INSTALL exGENT Rpi4 in Windows?
Just like any other Raspberry Pi system. I.e.: Unpack the downloaded raw.xz file (exgent-rpi4-64bit-lxde-200410.raw.xz) and transfer the IMAGE file (exgent-rpi4-64bit-lxde-200410.img) to your Micro SD card of at least 16 GB. For that you shall use Rufus 3.9 in Windows.
HOW DO I USE exGENT Rpi4?
When you start up your Raspberry Mini computer with exGENT Rpi4 you will (after a few seconds) end up at SLiMs login page. Log in as the ordinary user pi or as root (admin). The password for pi is raspberry. When logged in as pi you can use Sudo to become root. Example: sudo su and sudo pcmanfm. The password for root (superuser) is root. You can log out from LXDE and log in again as root (if you want).
exGENT Rpi4 PERFORMANCE
The system is quite fast if you use a Raspberry Pi 4. You can run exGENT Rpi4 also on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and B+, but I can't recommend it. If you, for example, start the Vivaldi Browser and try to run a video in YouTube your RAM memory will be consumed quickly. The video will then stop or lag. I.e. 1 GB RAM is simply too little for exGENT Rpi4.
