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

Arch has great documentation, rolling release, and customizability, minus the compilation. Obviously, use Gentoo if you want to. But for advanced Linux users, I highly recommend Arch.
I’ve heard good things about Arch. Indeed, I installed it on one of my boxes, where I specifically wanted to avoid a lot of compilations, besides being curious about it.
Used it for a bit over a year know and… I don’t know, it hasn’t been as stable, and I’ve find using AUR more of a chore than custom ebuild repos. It’s probably great when you get used to it, but so far I still prefer Gentoo.
It’s great, that there are several good distros for different use cases, and that we have the freedom to choose what suits us best!
“it hasn’t been as stable” I say that’s bad luck. Maybe if I went to try Gentoo some bad source code might’ve gotten pushed and then I’d get a bad impression.
Also, I only have access to potatoes. Also, I use the chaotic aur repo, otherwise I would’ve given up ages ago.
