      gentoo for small computing power?? no offense, but that’s bonkers 😹

      Why?

      Surely if you’ve low computing power, you want to make the best of it… Gentoo can help with that.

      Tight compile flags, choosing USE flags carefully to be minimal and snug to meet needs, can make a very very lean efficient-running crisp-feeling system for when you’re using it.

      Or, if your concern is more about the package install time, just use the official binhost [the -g option on emerge commands is your friend], and minimise USE flag changes, and then it’s as fast as any other distro with precompiled binary packages.
