I mean, is it really worth it to compile every single program that I install? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time? I am inclined to try it out but on the other hand idk

    I would agree with this. I used Gentoo for a while before moving to Ubuntu.

    Gentoo helps you learn and leads (forces) you down the path of getting under the hood to tweak your Linux experience.

    I wouldn’t recommend it if you need to build systems quickly for production. I’m sure there are hacks to do it more quickly.

    I’m really glad I used it before Ubuntu. I feel like a have a much firmer grasp of the concepts of Linux because of my experience with it.
