    I installed Gentoo for the first time, just because of that. feels great for now, it’s like the first time I installed arch, I come from NixOs.

        For no reason, I always wanted to try Gentoo, I’ll be back to Nixos soon… until I buy a new computer. Using the binary makes you install thing you don’t want. by doing that , there is no point of using Gentoo at all .

          i see. binary packages have the potential to be a great compliment to building… right now i tend to agree with you. i often run into my USE config not having bins.

          how did gentoo compare to nix then in your experience (excluding bin packages)?
