Sorry dude, you're completely wrong on every level. It's about 7 years too late to tell me to stop.

If you like Gentoo, more power to you. It's not for me.

This isn't just another run of the mill distro. It's like nothing else that's out there.

Chromium and WebKit are ginormous, and more importantly they are compiled with the latest C++ standards, which are slow as hell to compile. Nothing wrong with my system, it just takes forever to compile this giant bloated crap.

Personally I've been boycotting all chromium forks for about a decade now. Could consider dropping chromium altogether :P

I guess there are alternative "forks" like QtWebEngine that just try to bring in only the blink engine part.
