I used Gentoo since about 2012 up until 2022 then switched to Debian mainly because lot less things used to break during updates and my old CPU ( i7 4790k ) became a bit dated to compile every new version of Golang, Rust and Chromium - just hours and hours of brutal grind. Since flatpak can provide up to date versions of a lot of desktop software on Debian there is very little point switching back. Maybe one day if I get my hands on some ridiculously powerful CPU like 7800 or 9800X3D then might try it again.

I just got a Ryzen AI 395+ and compilation times are insane, kernel compiles in one minute! :D https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen-ai-max-pro-395/5

Wow! 1 min?! that is absolutely nuts! I remember having to recompile the kernel on my 386,486 etc,
