    It really doesnt take as long as you would think. I did it on a chromebook. Kernel and webrowser are the only things that take awhile and its only a few hours. When i did it on my gaming desktop it was barely any time.

      I actually haven’t tried Gentoo on my main machine for a really long time so I can only guess. With 6 cores 12 threads it should be fast enough I think. Gotta admit I’m surprised that it does that well on a Chromebook.

        oh no compiling kernel and webbrowser on a chromebook took over a day and was incredibly painful. Sorry for the confusion.

          No problem! Kinda disappointed but they’re Chromebooks, even if it was an Intel one, it’s still slow. Should’ve suspected. :)
