Flashbacks of Gentoo 🙃
omg me too... a much nerdier friend of mine told me to install Gentoo on my first custom build back in the early aughts. printed out the guide and spent over a week 24/7 compiling everything with an athlon 64 3500+... and had never used Linux before this... good times, man.
TBF most of that compilation time was probably just gcc lol.
Same. Still running Gentoo 20 years later.
Still compiling qtwebkit? :)
There's a lot to love about Gentoo. I miss it dearly, but I've been using NixOS lately and have been very happy with it too. It's just quite a lot easier to maintain and the model for packages makes it a lot easier to set up binary caches and stuff... Still, there's something very cozy about our dear portage :).
