Many years ago, when the first quad core CPU's hit the market, I had a friend working in Intel. I got myself a Q6600 quad core for pennies on the euro and promptly installed Gentoo. Oh how I made that CPU work for the pennies I paid for it.
Honestly it was the only thing at the time to tax a quad core. Most games were not well optimised for 4 cores and more or less nothing else was anything but single threaded.
but jokes aside though, does every single software update is to be compiled locally? If so then it is quite of a power hungry system for a desktop use. I'd understand if gentoo is tailored more on minimal server use that updates much less frequently.
Drill holes in your CPU for better cooling!
It had to be the "install SteamOS on anything" guy
"You need a cooler for a PC, unless you go full Bringus."
Dankpods viewer found in the wild?
Me too (sometimes)
Why would I remove my laptop fans? They're the ones that keep up their morale and cheer them on.
Yeah, and the heatsink is the only thing that serves decent food

What if i use Passive cooling ;)
How did you get yours to be passive? Mine are all passive aggressive!
gentoo isn't environmentally friendly

i believe they started providing binary packages recently, i never tried gentoo properly so not sure though
oh yea I vaguely remember seen that
turns out it's been 2 years https://www.gentoo.org/news/2023/12/29/Gentoo-binary.html
Sweet, I've always wanted to fry eggs on my CPU!
