IRC channels

All of our channels are managed by volunteers for the mutual benefit of users and contributors alike, and we consider IRC to be open to everyone. Please feel free to pop in and introduce yourself, and consider it a resource for when you run into problems or have questions about Gentoo Linux.

Our channels are present on the libera.chat IRC network. irc.gentoo.org is a convenience alias to their servers.

We ask very little of users visiting our support channels:

  • Please act sensibly and maturely, abiding by the Code of Conduct.
  • Please read the topic when entering a channel, it contains valuable information!
  • Bots or scripts that talk or create public logs are not welcome in most channels. If in doubt, please ask.
  • Please do not use CTCP VERSION or the like on users/channels without their consent.
