Uptime ~30 years

Too generous for Gentoo.

"Maybe if I tweak the kernel config juuuuust a little bit today" "Is it just me or did this particular version of gcc make the kernel 0.0002% slower? I need to do some tests" "...Dunno, it just feels slower today, I guess I need to recompile the whole system"

Uptime: 30 minutes, tops

True I didn't take this into account. On the other hand we have systemd soft-reboot now.

Gentoo users don't use systemd.

[–] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bold assumption you did here...

Most Gentoo users use OpenRC.
