I've been also using gentoo almost exclusively over the last 20 years. But I had to move to fedora and nixos recently, when I noticed that building stuff like chromium takes too long on my laptops. What would have saved the day for me, is if it were possible to pre-build / cross compile the packages on a different machine, and use binary packages on my laptops. But no luck there. NixOS would be quite OKl, but is systemd based. While USE is the main selling point of gentoo, it would be just great, if there would be an easy to setup build server, that could pre-build the packages for a given set of USE configs, so I could just update in seconds instead od hours.
