Actually it is sufficient. On macOS one can install homebrew and add the build from source option. Most Linux distributions provide similar facilities.
Of course on can go Hardcore and use Gentoo, but yeah, in that case verified builds + OSS are the more efficient option unless on has access to a cluster.
- checkyoursudo 8y agoI have used Gentoo on my desktop for a long time, but it still requires a lot of trust. How many Gentoo users recompile the whole toolchain, which itself is no guarantee? Most just unpack the stage3, follow the handbook, and be on their merry way. Hell, I'm super paranoid and I haven't bootstraped on every install.
