|
|
Hi people of gentoo! I have installed gentoo before more as an experiment but this time I am going to do it in order to daily drive it. I currently run on cachyos but wish to use gentoo so that I dont have systemd. I would rather use dinit, but most likely use runit as it officially supported. I would like the features in cachyos as they for my system show a pretty good difference over vanilla arch. I tried dealing with artix, but there isnt much I can do with that tbh and gentoo has more opportunities for me to work with.
Thank you very much everyone in advance. |

CachyOS offers to compile all packages with optimized CFLAGS. That is certainly something it's possible to do with Gentoo, especially if you compile from source. But Gentoo also has a binary repository of x86-64-v3 packages.
Gentoo can do LTO but we are tracking issues with it at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=lto and will hopefully flip the switch once things progress a bit further (we are basically in the home stretch).
Not really sure what else CachyOS is actually doing, other than providing a patched kernel with a specific scheduler. You could apply that kernel patch to Gentoo as well, pretty easily. See e.g. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches in case you're unfamiliar with this functionality. |
