I'd argue Arch improves on this. You can get standard software and anything already packaged elsewhere via pkgbuild, or just use the skeleton git repo pkgbuild to pull source and build it behind the scenes anyway. Best of both worlds - save some electricity and time and have access to all the softwares.
- contingencies 13y agoWasn't meaning to start a distro thread, but yeah I've noticed there's lots of nice docs from arch and the community seems quite large. Haven't tried it myself but understand its build system provides less configurability, so don't think I'd gain from a switch. (I use a lot of Gentoo USE config stuff, particularly on cluster and higher security node deployments to reduce dependencies and overall code bloat, which is one reason I really value Gentoo. Though still not perfect, it's pretty damn good for many of my use cases.)
