        Most of the reason to build your own packages is a form of runtime assurance - to know what your computer is running is 100% what you intend.

        At least as a guix user that’s what I tell myself.

      I did jump onto Gentoo ship chasing performance, but stayed because of USE flags.

    I never tried gentoo cause i never liked the idea of compiling everything. I only compile if i have to because i always feel like it’s a waste of time in general. I have used NixOS for the past 6 months though, but i didn’t like how many issues it gave me when updating. Now i’m back on good old void linux.

    “Tell me one last thing”, said Harry. “did i install Open BSD for real? Or has this business, the dual boot failure , both computers damaged, the sharks, all been happening inside my head?”

    Dumbledore chortled at him, and his voice sounded loud and strong in Harry’s ears even though the bright ocean mist was descending again, obscuring his figure.

    “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

      OpenBSD is the easiest BSD to install and most things work right outside the box

      That’s easy, just pick btrfs, gnome, pipewire, systemd, gdm, grub, and add flatpak in your additional packages.

      Every other configuration is wrong.

        Newfangled bullshit! Choose ext2, twm, alsa, sysvinit, xinit, and compile additional software from source.
