managing to combine being incredibly quick to anger with being incredibly patient at resolving the source of anger might unironically be my best trait
i think most people quit compiling shit at roughly the 6 to 8 hour mark. historically for me it's closer to a week of doing basically nothing but (cross) compiling some software abomination

@whitequark personally more than willing to mess with different CPU architectures but have a pretty strong aversion to putting in effort for windows users at this point

@clarfonthey this depends on the software but for a password manager windows support is table stakes

@whitequark If I quit compiling shit after 6 hours I wouldn't have a browser. Gentoo is kind of a sickness though.

gentoo people try to flex on me like this but i would bet if a gentoo user would be faced with a week of compile errors nonstop they would probably quit using gentoo https://deacon.social/@ossobuffo/116434104017759862

@whitequark i tried to build an entire system with nixos natively on a raspberry pi zero. i think it failed after a week.

@whitequark all of the times I managed to break Xorg on gentoo when I ran it daily pressed the smug out of me.
(I guess the funnier version would be "well they might still be smug after a week of compile errors, but at least they wouldn't be able to post at you about it")

@whitequark remembering how long it took to compile Firefox.. It's why I don't choose Gentoo anymore

@whitequark which tbf this was during my aarch64 + clang as default compiler + LTO default on + alternative linker + also the system is a graphical desktop not a headless system arc but you've got to do something for fun

@whitequark that system still runs to this day! even the kernel was clang-built for the bit

@whitequark depends on who you ask. 15 yo me, trying to install Linux on a decommissioned hppa server (hp9000 d-class server), did certainly spent months watching compiles fail.
Edit: and yes, it just had to be gentoo.
