If you've got the time, Gentoo is very rewarding indeed.
- antihero 13y agoI used to use Gentoo, but I figured Arch follows the build-your-own philosophy and has the added benefit of not having to wait for everything to build all the time. I like both distros, but would you say there's any significant reason to switch back? Noticeable speed/stability difference? Gentoo did fork udev, but I'm honestly fine with systemd for my desktop.
- zx2c4 13y agoI like USE flags and disabling at compile time code I don't want. Keeps dependencies way down. Fewer packages, leaner system. I don't mind compiling. Hell, on my Ivy Bridge, compiling/emerging most packages is faster than apt-get in Ubuntu!
