>only takes 4 hours to update chromium timewasting OS
timewasting thread
>>109235774Sounds like a "poor" issue to me
>>109235774If the user is the one compiling, you're doing it wrong. Just use portage, it'll tell the computer to do the work.
>>109235774why update?
>>109235774You get more control over your OS but in exchange you never get to use your OS.
>>109235774>>109238867as far as i understand after its compiled it runs faster
>>109238930you’ll get those 4 hours back in no timenot that you couldn’t continue to use your browser during that time, but now you not only don’t waste time but you also make up for the not lost time with extra speed!
>>109238950i just use thorium browser or cachy browser cause that shits pre compiled to save me time
>ChromiumNow you get it, it's not a browser it's like an entire OS. Firefox is 2 to 3 times faster to compile.>Chromium>4 hoursMy old PC did it in 2. How poor are you?
>>109238996what time, the time you spend watching text fly across the screen, mesmerized by the compilation? frozen by flashy text?
>>109239020from loading the webpages fastre
>>109235774this is mostly a gametrans issue because xey can't play xeir bing bing wahoo when compiling.
>>109238950>use your browser during that time,You can’t because if you don’t use all your cores while compiling then 4 hours becomes 12.
>>109239020if you're seeing that you're doing it wrong
>>109238764>why update?
>>109235774use the bin if your cpu sucks retard
Gentoo is for rich white men. Poors and thirdies can stay on jeetdows or meme normies distros like Ubuntu.
>>109239528If you have a good computer then the performance boost from using gentoo becomes negligible, and if you have a shit computer then compiling everything becomes too tedious to keep using the OS. A lot of gentootrans don't want to hear this but it's the truth.
>>109235774>>109238867just get a binary, you don't have ot do anything any specific way on gentoo>>109239227i reboot into windows 10 for that>>109239682my 16 year old processor does fine. i wanna see just how fast i can make this computer go.
>>109235774>what is ccache>>109238867You're supposed to use PORTAGE_SCHEDULING_POLICY="idle" and just update in the background. You can limit the memory consumption too if you use a global jobserver now.
>>109239704>i wanna see just how fast i can make this computer go.hint: not very
>>109239682You're not wrong, but that's mostly because modern software is a bloated dumpster fire. Compare GCC 16 against GCC 6 and the difference is immediately obvious.On ancient shitboxes it's probably better to run period-appropriate gentoo instead of modern Gentoo.
>>109235774You can just get a binary if you don't want to compile, retard.
>>109239991No, he IS wrong. You get a reasonable but modest boost to performance (~3-5% avg) by using system specific optimizations. You get that on old hardware and you get that on new hardware. Gentoo is not magically 50% faster on a toaster.
Whose fault is it if you're too stupid to run updates while AFK?
