minus-squaremozz@mbin.grits.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-28 months agoI don’t see why it wouldn’t. I think for gentoo, you want to check if you need any security updates with: emerge --sync emerge gentoolkit glsa-check -l affected (Edit: Also, as a general rule – don’t type stuff as root just because I or some other random person on the internet tells you to; check the man page or docs to make sure it’s going to do something that you want it to do first.)
