      I run Gentoo.

      It’s made my fundamentals stronger.

      It allows me to run the minimal number of codepaths.

      Every now and then it makes me happy. Sometimes proud of myself. All because I solved some problem that was helped by the mindset Gentoo had set up.

          I don’t know the size in bytes, haven’t cared much about it for some time now. It also very much depends on the definition of minimal. My minimal != your minimal.

          I’m referring to use flags, which allow me to not have a bunch of features I don’t use compiled to begin with. Less code - fewer headaches.
