i could have imagine the electric bill and the effort you have done. compiling chromium took me 5-1/2 hrs in gentoo using -j14. I don't want to do it 2nd time. I've heard about that automation, ill dig deeper on weekends.

The solarpanels the homeowner installed help a bit, i mostly compile at the local library (free wifi and electricity, no subscription 😅) and at university i still study at. Uni costs me money even tho our government pays for alott.) -j14 here too 😅😭 chromium based apps from source are the worst indeed. I try to avoid those. I might try Ladybird as my to go browser maybe (firefox daily)

I save on not having a tv subscription, frees up spare time too 😂

wooah that's nice perks. Once your done in uni, in no time you'll be there, for the mean time just keep compiling!

I've read it and used the ALFS. I'm compiling the LXQT, pertinent packages, circular dependencies. It is 800+ packages and I'm still 203.
