Why do you exactly run Gentoo in the first place if you don't actually value building the dependencies from source?

Why do you exactly run Gentoo in the first place if you don't actually value building the dependencies from source?
- filmor 6y agoThat's an odd question. I absolutely value having almost everything built from source and the control I get from that through use-flags. That doesn't mean I enjoy compiling some incarnation of webkit every few weeks for multiple hours on a laptop, in particular if it's just for a single application (in this case: Nextcloud client). Same for 32bit stuff, I have absolutely zero use for these libraries outside of closed-source games, so I'd rather have them just work than full control over them.
