Why aren't you using Gentoo yet? Given the same hardware, NO ONE here has a faster system than me.

I have a life and do other things than rice my desktop all day long. windows 7 is good enough for me.
>>58745697
Why are you on /g/ - the 4chan technology board - and not Facebook?
>>58745690
The speed increase isn't worth it unless you compiling for an exotic architecture.
I don't need my system's speed to be optimized to the microsecond.

U jelly?
It doesn't make as large of a difference for every package, but when every package on your system is compiled with -march=native and -O3 that's certainly faster than a binary distribution.
They can't use -march=native because they have to make generic binaries, and also at most use -O2 to compile packages
Intel's Clear Linux distro sually out-performs other distros, even in non-CPU burning programs, largely because they use similar compiler optimizations that I'm using on Gentoo.

Why I should install gentoo for that instead of compiling from sources on any other system?
>>58746013
Because compiling from sources on any other system is waste of time. On Gentoo your package manager control everything and you have choise of package version.

>>58745690
my system is faster, I use LFS systemd dev branch, also using deprecated xf86-input-libevdev just shows that you are a fucking mongoloid that doesn't know shit as you should be using libinput and xf86-input-libinput.
>>58746013
Because you would be manually compiling all packages, something that would be a million times harder to do and maintain.
You wouldn't even be running another distro if you manually compiled all your own packages, you might have started off with Ubuntu, but you would now be running Linux from Scratch.
Gentoo has a package management system that automatically pulls in needed dependencies, compiles the software, and can upgrade to newer versions.
For example to install firefox I would just type "emerge firefox" and it would automatically compile and install.
Compare that to manually figuring out all of Firefox's dependencies and manually compiling firefox, which would be extremely more complicated and time consuming. There is hundreds of packages needed on a desktop system, and many of them use different build systems and have many quirks needed to compile them, all of which is automated by Gentoo.

I used to use libinput, but I uninstalled it because I think evdev still might be better.
I have xorg config files to disable mouse acceleration for both evdev and libinput, don't assume I don't know about both of them cunt.
>>58745690
I use Windows 10 which takes care of optimizations, drivers and updates required for my system automatically.
Step up nigger.

>with systemd
I thought one of the most prominent reasons to use Gentoo was that you don't need systemd.

compiling from source with a package manager is slackware and it is not impossible
>>58746180
Sounds like slackware level autismo.
>>58746230
sorry you should have said that in the first place. I think libinput is great, everthing just werks.
