        Binary speed is really the least reason to use Gentoo.

        There are a lot of thorny issues in package distribution that source builds completely sidestep.

        Install-it-yourself plus source updates are a lot to ask, but if you can get the hang of it the benefits are pretty sweet.

        It doesn’t. All the time you spent reading manuals and tweaking configs to get it to boot quicker does.

      And also, I have work to do… I don’t like wasting my time tinkering with config files trying to get the optimum settings. I just want an OS that helps me do my work and gets out of the way.

      All the edgelord kids boasting about using Arch are also a big turn off.
