NUC7PJYH: Closing out Gentoo on the Intel NUC
Well, the NUC is done and everything to working. It is definitely not a speed demon, Geekbench scores prove it with a 158 Single-Core Score and 570 Multi-Core Score.


I did try Wayland, and it worked well except for my extensions, so I settled on X11.

I have placed the system configuration on Gitlab including: kernel config, hardware info, files installed, and all that good stuff that should make installation easier. The entire Gentoo install is about 14 Gig and that includes Libreoffice and Firefox binary packages.
