I bought the entire CPU, and I’m going to use the entire CPU.

Just built the nightly for fun on my 5950X and it took about 35 minutes.

I’m going to date myself here, but when I was in high school in the late '90s, a friend of mine introduced me to Linux and helped me get it set up. He gave me the distro he used at the time: Debian. He explained to me how Debian, unlike other distros, compiles everything it installs, which is why it takes so long. I recall him explaining that this would make things run better in some way (but I was a teenager and don’t remember too clearly). The install took hours. Many hours. I don’t remember what kind of computer I had, it was a Pentium something.

There was such a sort of romance and intrigue to Linux back then. It was so challenging to get working, the desktop environments were janky AF, getting some drivers working was like a day’s work. I miss it, though.

Then let’s go another step further, compiling the compiler that compiles the compiler, aka compilerception 🤣🤣✌✌.
