To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors, from LibreOffice to KDE Plasma and from Gnome to Docker. Gentoo stable, updated daily. Enjoy! And read on for more details!
That weirdly makes me wanna try it less. That was it’s whole thing. It’s a convenient thing tho
Why “less”? Gentoo is about choice, you can still compile all packages, this just gives you the option to install binaries if you prefer that.
