  • I worked with a guy in the 2000’s who was all “Why would you bother doing Linux WITHOUT compiling your own?” who was a Gentoo devotee, and he was fucking great, honestly top ten people I ever had under me for team work, despite being a total alcoholic who would pass out in chair, but he got it DONE, I was so pissed when they fired him… and I do think back then at least there were gains… Probably still are now depending on hardware… I’ve run Linux since the mid 90’s and have a Computer Science education and everything from back in the “You must compile your own LAMP stack” days and I have always found Gentoo too obscure to even try every time I try, and I have across three decades now. But I guess now that the Slackware+ of Arch is cool, it’s inevitable Gentoo will become a trend.
