I mean, is it really worth it to compile every single program that I install? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time? I am inclined to try it out but on the other hand idk

    As a long time Gentoo user I tried Arch a few times but the whole AUR mess instead of using the same tools for distro, community and my own packages really put me off.

        The fact that there are so many of those is part of the mess I mentioned.

          Arch works for me, Gentoo works for you.

          I’d still rather recommend Arch over Gentoo so people don’t start whining, “eVeRy tHiNg tAkEs 4eVar!”.

            Oh, I never said other people shouldn’t use Arch. In general though, I would probably recommend neither to the kind of person who needs distro recommendations.
