Nobody obviously. The closest you would get it probably Arch, with a lot of optional dependencies.
And you are not wrong at all, if gentoo works for you. I just wonder if that all that compiletime is ever won back.
Yeah I ran Arch for a little while and it was ok. Felt like it was in-between a binary and a complete source based system but lacked the configurability that makes source base work.
As for getting time back, I setup my system to build stuff at night for upgrades, most apps took a few minutes to build as it’s rare for me to not already have the vast majority of libraries already on my machine. The only things that took a long time was browsers and LibreOffice. Both of which I built when I was sleeping.
Additionally I ran lxc on my system for situations where I had to have something now. Spin up a Debian build and install it. In the background I’d still build a Gentoo clean version and dump the Debian image once it was done.
