This is excellent content to cover. I think there has been two occasions in many Gentoo builds over the years where I didn't have an Ethernet port or connection to do the initial build on where I had to enable wifi to carry on with the build, and this a really good set of steps to know when in that situation.
the gentoo community has been such a nice thing to be around when switching from arch thanks to people like you :P asking for help is way better than in the arch community, where they'll always instantly tell me "RTFM" despite me sinking hours into trying to troubleshoot it myself TwT
The two methods described in the video are not actually Gentoo-specific, other than the package manager used to install wpa-supplicant etc. The rest should work on basically any GNU/Linux distribution, or even BSD. Still, the video explains a nice way to get rid of "NetworkManager" (which is often pre-installed on many distros) in favor of the "manual" way, which is lightweight and preferable in my opinion.
A very useful video! Gentoo is great! And I really like your videos, keep it up

Yeah arch community can be a little ruthless in terms of trying to help people

Yeah I think I said something about that in the video, it’s not gentoo agnostic, most people watch my videos for the “gentoo” stuff though
Great topic! I always follow you with a lot of interest. Could I suggests also IWD? Despite It has been written by intel, not bad at all though 😁
Yeah like I said in the video, there’s probably more ways to set it up those two are just mine
Wa-Fi :)))
