minus-square@ClemaX@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoDoes source-based mean you need to build every package from scratch? How long does it take to update? Do you use it on a laptop or desktop?
minus-square@hillosipuli@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoYes, though there are some prebuilt binaries for large packages. I use gentoo on a desktop and updates don’t take too long, minutes. Big updates that cause lot of packages to rebuild can take hours.
