CRUX Linux is best too.

Why the fuck would you go source based? Do you like wasting time?

>>53856572
but, it's optimized for your computer.

>>53856589
Does it really matter that much as long as it's the right architecture? Do you also build all your software from the source too?

How do you get a compiler running without an OS?

>>53856495
Because I'm a noob and region-blocked from their IRC channel.

>>53856643
there is some difference... x86 has been around forever and as a result there are many processor specific optimizations that gcc can utilize.

worth the 2+ hours it takes to compile a big program like libreoffice / firefox? probably not

>>53856868
Yeah but what do you think the devs are using to compile it? They are using GCC too, with all the same optimizations.

>>53856643
Yes.
>How do you get a compiler running without an OS ?
I chrooting it on linux live usb like ubuntu or systemrescd.

>>53856904
some optimizations will not work on certain processors... devs compile with catch-all CFLAGS

The time alone from compiling GCC will never be gotten back through performance gains.

Every single package and update is further time added to your debt.
