What's the argument against this?

takes too long to compile everything

Non-issue. You run the updates before you go to work or sleep.

I'm not fat enough to use Gentoo

Basivally everything that outs one as a brown subhuman, in no particular order:
>poverty
>impatience
>inability to conceptualize feature
>inability to imagine what you'd feel like if you didn't eat breakfast this morning
and other stuff like that

breaks when you update
breaks when you don't update

Similar to anglo infrastructure in africa.

>>105762408
This, they need to rewrite portage in rust. Or just keep your @world small.

"Linux is free if you don't value you time" taken to the ultimate extreme

>>105762735
They already did that
https://github.com/brevalferrari/portage-rust

They refused systemd but lost that war and refuse to acknowledge it. Now, Gentoo is wasting a lot of time to use everything from systemd ecosystem excepting systemd itself resulting in a hybrid disgusting half assed environment. They also have a chuds problem and had to delete the off-topic forums.

doesnt take that long on modern cpus, and if you have anything with 12 + cores , probably take < an hour for a bare minimum setup.

I'm been using gentoo for so long I don't think I could go back to arch. I've only had one issue where I broke the system due to messing around with grub but ive long switched to efibootmgr

its a rolling release. not updating for a couple of weeks breaks your system. rolling release is an inherently retarded design philosophy

its a huge amount of work to set up and maintain. you become a slave to the OS, rather than it becoming a slave to you

the optimizations from compiling yourself are slim to none

devuan is better. you can get a system up and running with an easy installer. its stable release. you can go back and modify the kernel after you get a working system up and running. you can compile software yourself if you want

gentoo is a meme for faggots

>rolling release. not updating for a couple of weeks breaks your system.
No, and even if it does one, you can update in steps, package list is a git repo

>>105763064

shut up fag. gentoo needs an internet connection too. devuan is fully offline with its dvd. it has deboostrap so you can do the autism install if you want. its superior in every way

gentoo is stupid and gay

>>105763064
>package list is a git repo

github is cancer. being reliant on internet for anything is gay and cancer. github, cloud etc. if you rely on that in any way, you dont own your software

>>105763119
Could you please stop relying on internet to post ITT? Brown low IQ subhuman.

>>105762476
>breaks when you don't update
Since when? I don't update for months at a time and my system runs fine. Only occasional breakage on the once every few month updates

>>105763080
I use gentoo on PC and devuan on steamdeck not to waste battery on rebuilds, kinda friendly fire. You just don't understand how good gentoo is.
>its superior in every way
On devuan you often can't have very old version of some package and very new version of other package. It's either stable or testing or unstable for all packages. Yes, there's preferences or policy or something like that to do it, but it shits itself in 90% of cases. On gentoo it always worked for me.
>autism install
On gentoo installation indeed takes some time but who cares, you install once and use it for many years.

You niggers are delusional if you think this is no way a disadvantage.

>>105763652
>On devuan you often can't have very old version of some package and very new version of other package

you never need the new version for any software. updates are almost always downgrades. the only new software you need is yt-dlp. literally nothing else

>>105763676
The advantage is that you don't have to worry that package maintainers were tortured and forced to add a backdoor before building.

>>105763682
Well try doing something except watching youtube

yes, it's super annoying. it's laughable how no one has seriously tried to solve fix. though eix and metadata caches do mitigate the issue a bit.
i was blown away by freeBSD's pkg speed, it's instant.

>>105762908
i can't find a single rust file in here lul

>>105763676
on modern PCs it takes a few minutes (r9 9950x :d)

Found the pajeet.

>>105762967
I don’t know. I’ve got a 1950x, which admittedly is on an old architecture but that’s still 32 threads with 32GB of ram (maybe I should double it) and last time I made a full install it took hours and I didn’t even compile a web browser.
I wonder how much faster it would be on a 9700x even with the lower core count.

There's no reason for me, personally, to not simply use Arch.

>>105762377 (OP)
What's the argument for it?

>>105764306
I don't need one.

>>105764318
OK

Hard to use without deep knowledge and easy to mess up. Still you should give it a try if you think it'll suit you well.

>>105762377 (OP)
Is that... a command line? Oh NO NO NO NO

>>105762908
You mean they forked it, didn't do anything, and then abandoned it?

I installed Gentoo for the first time 6 years ago.
I'm still dailying that install.
