   NGL I wish all distros had a ports system neatly integrated into the package manager. I just want to autistically compile some packages with -march optimizations and keep them up to date using the same package manager as the one for my binary packages.

     @tadano i dont remember if i encrypted my disk when i installed gentoo in 2021. But I do agree, setting up LUKS should be easy.

     Couldn't you remain safe if you update monthly or weekly? That's what I with arch and beyond upstream devs being retarded, all goes well.

     how so?

     @mischievoustomato I know Gentoo does but I prefer versioned releases for server OS. Plus it's not as well-supported, the package manager is in fucking Python and when I tried to install I got lost on encrypting my drive. IMO every distro should at least have a script or an option to automatically set up LUKS.
