Gentoo Image, Which Applications are in and Which are Out

Lol I thought Geany was bugged in Gentoo but the line break column setting is stuck at 72, the line won't move. Happens on both Gentoo and Debian, reopening Geany or a new file, it doesn't take the line break setting. (Edit -> Preferences -> Editor -> Features -> Line breaking column.) Geany version 1.38 on both distros, same problem.

I know this is off-topic, just letting you know or maybe there's a button besides "Apply" and "OK" to actually take the input that I don't know about.

I haven't noticed, I never have line-breaking on for code.

Just tried it. Line breaking happens at the requested point if you change it. 
But the line on the display is a separate thing, adjusted by the setting preferences-editor-display-long line marker
 

One other thing that won't be included that I forgot to mention are touchscreens and touchpads. There's too many variables with those, and I don't have any to test with.

Installer is just shy of 900 lines right now, all that's left is to finish the stage4 tarball and GRUB.

Don't run this yet but here it is:

github.com/NTULINUX/gentoo_backup/blob/linuxcnc/installer.sh

USB network adapters are also out (not included.)

Support for wired Atheros, Broadcom, Intel and Realtek NICs will be the only NICs included as these are the most common. The Gentoo image+installer project has been on hold the past few months, I'm going to be knocking out the initial installer and Gentoo image over the next week or so.

The latest 6.1 kernel (6.1.29 as of this writing) will be supported out of the box (patched with PREEMPT_RT) as well as the latest release candidate kernel (6.4 series, rc2 as of this writing) at your option for those who want to live on the edge.

Given that many systems will be using Ethernet FPGA boards, and will need a dongle for networking, that might be something of an omission. 
Though if this is a pure RTAI system (as seems likely) that is a non-issue.
