&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=== Known issues ===&lt;br /&gt;
== Pipewire: No sound after installation ( pre-1.5.3-RC5-SLIM ISOs ) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run these commands as &#039;&#039;&#039;your user&#039;&#039;&#039; (not root!) in Konsole terminal:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;systemctl --user disable --now pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;systemctl --user enable --now pipewire-pulse.socket wireplumber.service&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;systemctl --user enable --now pipewire.service&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== EPKG Update takes a long time ( pre-1.5.3-RC5-SLIM ISOs ) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; epkg update &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takes a long time because it depends on git to do anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Practically it runs a deep-run through git history of the repo and optimizes based on space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But since we&#039;ve got plenty of space nowadays, all you have to do is just:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /etc/portage &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /var/db/repos/gentoo &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /var/db/repos/argent-ws &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=1 &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a workaround. Most probably we&#039;ll change how EPKG behaves in updating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or if you mistakenly destroyed your repositories in trying to fix this issue above, you can simply reset everything via:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --usermode&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== When switching to avasile --devmode you can&#039;t compile stuff due to missing build tools ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have recently changed some things and packages in the ISO image, and we have removed the build-only dependencies (such as &amp;lt;code&amp;gt; meson, ninja, make, automake, autoconf &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution to this is rather simple:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; epkg o --with-bdeps y dev-build/autoconf dev-build/autoconf dev-build/automake dev-build/libtool dev-build/make dev-build/ninja dev-libs/md4c &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run it before starting to emerge or epkg recompile stuff.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; epkg update &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takes a long time because it depends on git to do anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Practically it runs a deep-run through git history of the repo and optimizes based on space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But since we&#039;ve got plenty of space nowadays, all you have to do is just:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /etc/portage &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /var/db/repos/gentoo &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /var/db/repos/argent-ws &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=1 &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a workaround. Most probably we&#039;ll change how EPKG behaves in updating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or if you mistakenly destroyed your repositories in trying to fix this issue above, you can simply reset everything via:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --usermode&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== When switching to avasile --devmode you can&#039;t compile stuff due to missing deps ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have recently changed some things and packages in the ISO image, and we have removed the build-only dependencies (such as &amp;lt;code&amp;gt; meson, ninja, make, automake, autoconf &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution to this is rather simple:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; epkg o --with-bdeps y dev-build/autoconf dev-build/autoconf dev-build/automake dev-build/libtool dev-build/make dev-build/ninja dev-libs/md4c &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run it before starting to emerge or epkg recompile stuff.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;=== Epkg Package Manager ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First of all, the holy &#039;&#039;&#039;epkg --help&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== To install packages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== To remove packages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg remove &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No confirmation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autoremove &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

No confirmation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autoupdate &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg update&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; takes too long, you can:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;cd /etc/portage &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;amp;&amp;amp; cd /var/db/repos/gentoo &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;amp;&amp;amp; cd /var/db/repos/argent-ws &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=1 &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== To upgrade ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== To clean after upgrade/install ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg clean &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== To upgrade also development &amp;amp; build packages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg upgrade-full &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No confirmation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autoupgrade-full &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Package Administration ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Argent comes with some Gentoo sets that you need to remove if you want KDE removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally KDE Plasma can&#039;t be removed from Argent installation by a normal user - &#039;&#039;&#039;and this is the right way, it&#039;s like removing Windows 11 or MacOS UI&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in order to remove this protection, you have to have some Gentoo knowledge, and understanding what you are doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, basically you will have:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;emerge --deselect plasma-workspace plasma-tools&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, you can remove Plasma, and install something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you are a developer, and want to start developing things with easy maintenance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have to switch on development mode  using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --help&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --devmode &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not a big issue, this will let you compile some things that you do not have, and versions that our precompiled repository do not have yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally a linux advanced user won&#039;t feel any difference between the normal user mode and devmode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But essentially, the devmode will start installing &#039;&#039;&#039;build dependencies&#039;&#039;&#039;, and those dependencies are only used &#039;&#039;&#039;to compile or build programs&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this mode you can start using epkg to compile things, like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autocompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Difference between them is intuitive, as well as non-verbose (compile) versus verbose (recompile).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Compilation management ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to recompile every package that&#039;s based on a given package:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No confirmation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compile-preserved knows what packages it needs to recompile in order to relink properly, it&#039;s the base foundation of a stable OS, compared to other distros that don&#039;t really care what they link against when they upload packages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Post kernel recompilation ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you are on development mode, after the reinstallation and upgrading of all kernels, you must use:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg module-rebuid&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or automated:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg automodule-rebuild&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you get &amp;quot;preserved-rebuilds&amp;quot; warning ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to compile the preserved-rebuild dependencies (that failed to compile for you):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile-preserved &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Normally KDE Plasma can&#039;t be removed from Argent installation by a normal user - &#039;&#039;&#039;and this is the right way, it&#039;s like removing Windows 11 or MacOS UI&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in order to remove this protection, you have to have some Gentoo knowledge, and understanding what you are doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, basically you will have:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;emerge --deselect plasma-workspace plasma-tools&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, you can remove Plasma, and install something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you are a developer, and want to start developing things with easy maintenance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have to switch on development mode  using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --help&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --devmode &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not a big issue, this will let you compile some things that you do not have, and versions that our precompiled repository do not have yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally a linux advanced user won&#039;t feel any difference between the normal user mode and devmode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But essentially, the devmode will start installing &#039;&#039;&#039;build dependencies&#039;&#039;&#039;, and those dependencies are only used &#039;&#039;&#039;to compile or build programs&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this mode you can start using epkg to compile things, like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autocompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Difference between them is intuitive, as well as non-verbose (compile) versus verbose (recompile).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Compilation management ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to recompile every package that&#039;s based on a given package:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No confirmation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compile-preserved knows what packages it needs to recompile in order to relink properly, it&#039;s the base foundation of a stable OS, compared to other distros that don&#039;t really care what they link against when they upload packages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Post kernel recompilation ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you are on development mode, after the reinstallation and upgrading of all kernels, you must use:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg module-rebuid&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or automated:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg automodule-rebuild&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you get &amp;quot;preserved-rebuilds&amp;quot; warning ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to compile the preserved-rebuild dependencies (that failed to compile for you):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile-preserved &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No confirmation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autocompile-preserved &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Run these commands as &#039;&#039;&#039;your user&#039;&#039;&#039; (not root!) in Konsole terminal:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;systemctl --user disable --now pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;systemctl --user enable --now pipewire-pulse.socket wireplumber.service&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;systemctl --user enable --now pipewire.service&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== EPKG Update takes a long time ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; epkg update &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takes a long time because it depends on git to do anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Practically it runs a deep-run through git history of the repo and optimizes based on space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But since we&#039;ve got plenty of space nowadays, all you have to do is just:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /etc/portage &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /var/db/repos/gentoo &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt; cd /var/db/repos/argent-ws &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git pull &amp;amp;&amp;amp; git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=1 &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a workaround. Most probably we&#039;ll change how EPKG behaves in updating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or if you mistakenly destroyed your repositories in trying to fix this issue above, you can simply reset everything via:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --usermode&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Compilation management ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to recompile every package that&#039;s based on a given package:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No confirmation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Post kernel recompilation ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you are on development mode, after the reinstallation and upgrading of all kernels, you must use:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg module-rebuid&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or automated:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg automodule-rebuild&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compile-preserved knows what packages it needs to recompile in order to relink properly, it&#039;s the base foundation of a stable OS, compared to other distros that don&#039;t really care what they link against when they upload packages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you get &amp;quot;preserved-rebuilds&amp;quot; warning ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to compile the preserved-rebuild dependencies (that failed to compile for you):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile-preserved &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Package Administration ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Argent comes with some Gentoo sets that you need to remove if you want KDE removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally KDE Plasma can&#039;t be removed from Argent installation by a normal user - &#039;&#039;&#039;and this is the right way, it&#039;s like removing Windows 11 or MacOS UI&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in order to remove this protection, you have to have some Gentoo knowledge, and understanding what you are doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, basically you will have:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;emerge --deselect plasma-workspace plasma-tools&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, you can remove Plasma, and install something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you are a developer, and want to start developing things with easy maintenance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have to switch on development mode  using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --help&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --devmode &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not a big issue, this will let you compile some things that you do not have, and versions that our precompiled repository do not have yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally a linux advanced user won&#039;t feel any difference between the normal user mode and devmode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But essentially, the devmode will start installing &#039;&#039;&#039;build dependencies&#039;&#039;&#039;, and those dependencies are only used &#039;&#039;&#039;to compile or build programs&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this mode you can start using epkg to compile things, like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autocompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you get &amp;quot;preserved-rebuilds&amp;quot; warning ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to compile the preserved-rebuild dependencies (that failed to compile for you):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile-preserved &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autocompile-preserved &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compile-preserved knows what packages it needs to recompile in order to relink properly, it&#039;s the base foundation of a stable OS, compared to other distros that don&#039;t really care what they link against when they upload packages.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

=== Package Administration ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Argent comes with some Gentoo sets that you need to remove if you want KDE removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally KDE Plasma can&#039;t be removed from Argent installation by a normal user - &#039;&#039;&#039;and this is the right way, it&#039;s like removing Windows 11 or MacOS UI&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in order to remove this protection, you have to have some Gentoo knowledge, and understanding what you are doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, basically you will have:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;emerge --deselect plasma-workspace plasma-tools&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, you can remove Plasma, and install something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you are a developer, and want to start developing things with easy maintenance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have to switch on development mode  using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --help&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --devmode &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not a big issue, this will let you compile some things that you do not have, and versions that our precompiled repository do not have yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally a linux advanced user won&#039;t feel any difference between the normal user mode and devmode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But essentially, the devmode will start installing &#039;&#039;&#039;build dependencies&#039;&#039;&#039;, and those dependencies are only used &#039;&#039;&#039;to compile or build programs&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this mode you can start using epkg to compile things, like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autocompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Package Administration ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Argent comes with some Gentoo sets that you need to remove if you want KDE removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally KDE Plasma can&#039;t be removed from Argent installation by a normal user - &#039;&#039;&#039;and this is the right way, it&#039;s like removing Windows 11 or MacOS UI&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in order to remove this protection, you have to have some Gentoo knowledge, and understanding what you are doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, basically you will have:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;emerge --deselect plasma-workspace plasma-tools&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, you can remove Plasma, and install something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== If you are a developer, and want to start developing things with easy maintenance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have to switch on development mode  using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --help&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;avasile --devmode &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s not a big issue, this will let you compile some things that you do not have, and versions that our precompiled repository do not have yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally a linux advanced user won&#039;t feel any difference between the normal user mode and devmode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But essentially, the devmode will start installing &#039;&#039;&#039;build dependencies&#039;&#039;&#039;, and those dependencies are only used &#039;&#039;&#039;to compile or build programs&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this mode you can start using epkg to compile things, like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg compile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autocompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Difference between them is intuitive, as well as non-verbose (compile) versus verbose (recompile).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Compilation management ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to recompile every package that&#039;s based on a given package:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg recompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No confirmation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;epkg autorecompile-depend &amp;lt;package&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
