This is why I load my PC up with as many viruses as possible. I'm not using those resources so why let it go to waste ๐
This, but unironically. Just slap -git on it and let 'er rip.
I know its a meme, but I am on a Laptop with a ryzen 5 3500U and it only takes 1,5h
Just built the nightly for fun on my 5950X and it took about 35 minutes.
I'm going to date myself here, but when I was in high school in the late '90s, a friend of mine introduced me to Linux and helped me get it set up. He gave me the distro he used at the time: Debian. He explained to me how Debian, unlike other distros, compiles everything it installs, which is why it takes so long. I recall him explaining that this would make things run better in some way (but I was a teenager and don't remember too clearly). The install took hours. Many hours. I don't remember what kind of computer I had, it was a Pentium something.
There was such a sort of romance and intrigue to Linux back then. It was so challenging to get working, the desktop environments were janky AF, getting some drivers working was like a day's work. I miss it, though.
emerge -av firefox-bin ftw hehehe
They should be compiling their own compilers too.
how do you think gcc and llvm are installed on a gentoo system?
Oh god. This is giving me flash backs to when i installed gentoo and i had to compite llvm. It took like 72h.
Then let's go another step further, compiling the compiler that compiles the compiler, aka compilerception ๐คฃ๐คฃโโ.
Extremely... cuz they can get some actual work done during those 8 hours.
Gentoo users be like
In 2005, I installed a stage 3 gentoo on a pentium MMX 233Mhz with 32 or 64Mb of RAM. As I was sleeping at night and at uni during the day, it took me 3 days to install the base system. No GUI.
Bro I wish. Took 18h on my old potato lol
Meanwhile I'm sitting here running it off an appimage I found on a dodgy website 3 weeks ago because I'm too lazy to properly install it.
