How To Install gentoo on Fedora 34

gentoo is Graphical file management program written in GTK+3

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gentoo on Fedora 34.

What is gentoo

gentoo is a file manager written from scratch in pure C. It uses the GTK3 toolkit for all of its interface needs. gentoo provides 100% GUI configurability; no need to edit config files by hand and re-start the program. gentoo supports identifying the type of various files (using extension, regular expressions, and/or the ‘file’ command), and can display files of different types with different colors and icons. gentoo borrows some of its look and feel from the classic Amiga file manager “Directory OPUS”(TM) (written by Jonathan Potter).

We can use yum or dnf to install gentoo on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install gentoo.

Install gentoo on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh
