That and quite a bit of ignorance...GOD is REAL unless declared as an INTEGER.

//EDIT: Also with modern shedulers it shouldn't lock your system. Most likely you're swapping cause of too many parallel jobs (see the MAKEOPTS link above: "Another item to consider is RAM usage. Recent gcc versions have been known to take 1 GB to 1.5 GB of RAM per job. If the system has the 8 logical CPUs from the previous example, but only 4 GB RAM, the MAKEOPTS value should be lowered to -j3. This is so that the system has RAM to run the basics as well as compile without hitting swap very often slowing things down").Last edited by V10lator; 19 January 2021, 04:30 AM.

That is just it...I want to go through the process in order to understand and optimize. If I had wanted to use Gentoo binaries, I would have used Funtoo. Thanks for the ZFS option...I will think on that. However, I will still have to mount the home partition on NTFS if I want to share it with the other operating systems (primarily Windows which I have no choice about - that thing called a job which gives me thing called a paycheck). That is the part I am most concerned about - but I do have good backups. I just have limited time and I do want to have to spend it restoring operating systems - especially Windows. Restoring Windows is time consuming. I can do a fresh install of KDE Neon with everything I need and a tweaked desktop in less than 50% of the time it takes me to do the same for Windows. Less than 25% of the time if you count the time I have to spend "taming" windows with GPOs and closing ports on the firewall to stop the spyware...oops, what I meant to say was to stop the "user experience improvement" processes from sucking down my bandwidth.
Windows can read native ZFS, it's beta but ppl seam to say it works. Installer for it is here. https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/ZFSin/releases
I use removable ZFS drives between Linux, FreeBSD and MacOS and that works.. haven't tried to mount them on Windows tho. (The reason why is because you get cross platform encrypted removable drives.. it's nice)
The danger isn't that you'll lose data, it's that it might bluescreen windows. but if you do import and load the dataset encryption key, they should just show up as a letter drive in Windows explorer, they show up as Finder volume disks in MacOS. I recommend Z:\
Also Sabayon and Redcore are binary Gentoo based. (Binary kind of defeats the purpose though and makes choices for you)Last edited by k1e0x; 19 January 2021, 04:49 PM.

I'm not even that much into optimizing or customizing anymore (that got me started with gentoo when resources were scarce) - but having a stable rolling release distro and portage as the package manager keeping everything syched up is most important to me nowadays.
The only real downside for me is the java support which seems very neglected (still on java 8 by default).

Here is a thread for people doing the same thing with ports on FreeBSD. it's NOT recommended but if you want to.. feel free.
