More specifically, Portage. I know use flags and “optimization” are all the hype, but really, would the average user even see a benefit from customizing all their use flags? Especially a benefit that compensates for the constant compilation?

I installed it once to help grow my e-peen, but immediately switched back to Arch after watching my system compile.

Those who daily drive it, do compilation and use flags annoy you, and do you see any real benefit?

    paragraph about how it’s totally useful

    Paragraph about how it’s actually just a nice feeling and the benefits above are just rationalization

      100% ChatGPT

      It generated the first paragraph, I approved, then I gave it reasons why I like Gentoo. It took a lot of work to make it seem less robotic.

      Edit: I love how it pisses you off. This genie isn’t going back into its bottle.

        Well yeah it pisses them off because they’re here to read people talk about their experiences and give opinions, not for someone to paste ChatGPT output. If they wanted that they could’ve just used ChatGPT themselves.

        It seems like you’re well aware people are annoyed by it but do it anyways. Why?

          Get used to it? I’ve seen it used here a lot already. Look for the bullet points.

          I suck at words. It’s like a calculator for words. If you try it, you’ll see.

          Edit: and you are talking to a real person, I just have a writers assistant.

          ADHD is considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). I use ChatGPT to overcome difficulties with my disability.
