the alternative isnt fun to modifiy

#

if you start wiothout a desktop profile some graphics drivers just wont work properly

id suggest reading this reddit post

someone else that hadnt started with a desktop profile stage3

#

days of package rebuilds

#

and learning how to

#

the grief isnt worth it for minimalism

#

#

it's not entirely intel specific

#

the non desktop stage3 install files lacking in major features to properly support gpu rendering

#

rebuilding everything that relies on llvm/clang and rust or mesa to add proper gpu support has made others quit on slower hardware

#

dont over sell it :)

#

i was building rust compiler versions for 8 hours today

gentoo is more signifcantly a build to support what is required distro

at build time the package feature support results are decided
