Is it worth the install? How long will it take to get GNOME,

what the fuck?
I mean, aside from that, if you're asking if it's worth it you're probably not the target audience anyhow, so don't bother

all the time

>How long will it take to get GNOME, LibreOffice, Firefox and Chromium compiled and installed?
I would recommend you to use xfce

>>61770587
Firefox is quick
Chromium and LO take hours, just use the -bin version unless you're a total autist.
I don't use GNOME but the initial build will take a long time due to the huge number of packages. Updates should be pretty quick though.

>>61770587
Yes. Compiling shit is almost as easy as using a package manger itself.

>>61770587
>Is it worth the install?
yes if you want autism + non-stable distro
If you want a really good one install devuan or openbsd

or slackware, the stablest of them all

>>61770934
slackware is a pain in the ass to manage deps on if you use a lot of different software. It's great as a limited use thing like a hypervisor or a web server where you don't install new stuff on it often, but I'd never want to use slack for my desktop.
