Why ?

emerge xorg takes less than 4 minutes on my shitty laptop
this "compiling things takes a long time" meme needs to die

Explain further
The amount of time it took to compile GNOME took 2 days, or 48 hours. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. You do the math.
It litterally sat there with make / gcc info scrolling across the screen
For 2 days
What more needs to be explained?
it takes a long fucking time (mainly because of qt).
>tfw you fell for the install entoo meme
>For 2 days
There was a blog some years ago (~2005) from a guy who got a new small embedded device (like an rpi but years before, can't remember what exactly it was) and the guy installed Gentoo on it. Well, he tried to, he posted every day but after like 17 days the updates stopped and nobody knows if he died or managed to finish compiling. I've looked for years to find his site again but never managed.
Use fluxbox
smaller and faster
heh
Stage3 comes with a compiled GCC, hardly ever need to update it and it doesn't take long to compile.
>entoo
At least i realized what garbage """needed""" for xfce.
This gives me a great idea, I've got a Raspberry Pi 2 sitting around and collecting dust. I'm going to install Gentoo on it.
How do you even compile gcc if you don't already have some version of gcc?
be sure to not use distcc
truly makes me ponder
chroot maybe.
