GURU already started experimenting with usage of GH's CI [1],
though I can't skip over a very irritating fact: GH seems to think that
there is only one Linux-based OS ("runs-on: ubuntu-latest"). IMO it
would be better to run the CI on Gentoo's containers - which is possible
with GitLab's CI.
Also, on GitLab we do not have to pull images from official Docker
registry [2].
Do you mean to imply that Github's CI doesn't support Linux other than Ubuntu? Or do you mean instead that Github's CI only supports non-Ubuntu as docker containers?
But perhaps you already knew that an I simply misunderstood your meaning.
