    Technically NixOS is all compiled from source too (if you disable the binary caches). It has since taken away Gentoo’s raison d’être a bit in my head. Debian still holds a special place in my heart too, for its simplicity and stability!

      I wouldn’t say so. We currently don’t hold a candle to USE-flags. Many packages are already configurable but there’s no standard on anything w.r.t. that.

      There’s no technical reason we couldn’t have such a standard but it hasn’t happened yet.

      I do this with my kernel & a couple of applications that either compile super fast anyhow or at runtime benefit from further compiler optimizations.
