Why ?

>too afraid to update now

emerge xorg takes less than 4 minutes on my shitty laptop

this "compiling things takes a long time" meme needs to die

It took 2 days to compile GNOME

>emerge kde

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.
