I bought the entire CPU, and I’m going to use the entire CPU.
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 😎
This, but unironically. Just slap
-giton 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 🤣🤣✌✌.
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.
