I loved how tailored to me was Gentoo. But as time passes and your hardware gets older, the compilation times get longer and longer. That’s what made me to do the hop
I’ve heard some time ago that now Gentoo is offering more pre-compiled packages. But I don’t know the extent. libstd, gcc and libreoffice were the worst offenders in my time
If you’re going to be compiling your own kernel (or now Gentoo ships with pre-compiled ones too?) my word of advice would be “don’t forget to compile in the filesystem support”
When I was trying Gentoo I very much didn’t forget, I went I want them all. But I ended at my first attempt. It was bootable, but I was missing network drivers, and on old Core 2 Duo the compilation already took 3 days.
