Funny, I installed Gentoo for the first time last week, and I've had this happen already.

I have never used Gentoo and at this point I feel like I'd enjoy writing big assembly projects more than configuring a Gentoo PC.
Some people enjoy just ordering a plate of raw ground beef, flour, yeast, and some cheese and constructing their own burger. The kind of people who'd love to completely design and build their own house with their own hands if they had the cash and time.
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe
Or "if you wish to customize your operating system you must first create your kernel"
Are you not using a desktop profile? That sets the sane defaults you're missing
yes, i am
I'm very confused about that btw, cuz i also set pipewire on global use flags, so, i think firefox should be affected by that, no?
I dunno, but i will try to recompile that this night again lol
www-client/firefox does not have a pipewire use flag, it uses pulseaudio which can use the pipewire backend for playing the audio (not sure about the specifics) https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire for all issues, I'd recommend #gentoo on irc.libera.chat
whaaa? i was pretty sure that it has a pipewire flag... so, i think it explains some things lol
It has system-pipewire.

And not many packages do.
https://packages.gentoo.org/useflags/system-pipewire
(And while poking around looking at that on my latest (still quite fresh) Gentoo install, I realised I didn't have gentoolkit installed yet, for equery (for what little use equery h did me, since I have no packages installed using pipewire (or system-pipewire). Ah well, got it installed now. Thanks.)
My package.use is a horror show :D
i'm actually trying to make it look good, cuz really i like letting config things in a huge big file, like vimrc ou bashrc you know? hehe
... config things in a huge big file ... you know?
