In the time it took me to get halfway through compiling the kernel on Gentoo, I installed an entire Debian system.
I'm starting to think that I might not have the patience for Gentoo.

@veronica@explains.social Many years ago I ran Gentoo because I had a fancy new amd64 CPU (can’t remember which one) and there was a genuine speed boost from custom compiling everything. Absolutely no way I’d bother now.

@veronica@explains.social Yeah... I find it worth it, but 3 days to go from step 1 to graphical desktop did very nearly turn me off of it
