    Sorry but imo “compilation” and “production” cannot be used in one sentence. Imagine the electricity bills and compilation times on office machines with i3s or Celerons

      Everything gets compiled at some point to be able to run.

      Lot of people running large gentoo server farms will compile and run binary’s. Even Gentoo is officially supporting binary packages for their stable branch. Package set is ever growing right now too

        What I meant is that compiling the same program on 100 machines is a horrifying waste of resources and downtime. Binaries exist but it destroys the point of Gentoo that was never meant for production in the first place.

          Except you can compile binaries on one machine and install those binaries on the other 99. Gentoo is probably the easiest way to create a custom distro because of this.

            distcc so you can compile on the faster ones and distribute it
