  1. On Funtoo, don't touch /etc/make.conf or /etc/portage/package.use! Leave them empty of custom USE settings! We have an innovative profile system that has flavors and mix-ins and is designed to allow you to manage USE settings in bulk, and we maintain these as a community. We build GNOME and other stages for download using these official profiles.
  2. If you find that our USE settings aren't optimal, and require manual fixes to get things to merge, or if basic functionality in an app doesn't work because the USE settings aren't right, then this is a bug. We consider it a bug, so please open a bug. As a wolf pack, we want to be a community and curate an optimal set of default USE settings for everyone so that users can perform real work on their Funtoo systems without a bunch of one-off USE hacks.
  3. This also means that if you decide to hack up your /etc/make.conf and /etc/portage/package.use with non-standard settings, because that's how you did things on your Gentoo system, and you want to do things the Gentoo way instead of the Funtoo way, then we will consider any bugs you report to be a lower priority and they may be closed with little or no explanation. Be a part of the wolf pack. There is strength in numbers.
