this guy played piano with his dick on TV
Maybe it's probably not necessary to kickass the "world's #2 strongest army" but knowing how to use your dick certainly doesn't hurt obviously.

powertop shows discharge rate in W, Joules consumed since last charging and estimated remaining time in the "Overview" pane.
something like a drone or a router
Highly customized/optimized Linux images certainly are one use case of gentoo.
if it’s cool you might be willing to put up with the drawbacks
The "cool factor" is a significant point. My gentoo laptop (which I update rarely besides browser/security updates) boots in under 3 seconds to graphical login :-)
Compiling can be done by a the cluster
Actually most compiling is pretty quick on modern systems (compile in DDR4 ramdisk, nvme, fast CPU etc.) I'd say, most stuff compiles as quickly as installing a binary nowadays.
It's the huge stuff that's annoying: webkit, rust, Qt, boost, firefox/chromium etc. But one can skip updates easily or use precompiled binary packages that are provided for big stuff.
Pi4 is perfectly doable. But Pi Zero won't be a lot of fun.
Real benefit. For average users it's debatable but if you want to exclude certain components or have complex dependencies "just work" without tons of docker images or need bleeding edge performance by tweaking everything, I don't see any other choice.
Also if you need to seamlessly integrate new projects that don't provide packages, writing a live ebuild is straight forward and will keep updated from a regular git repo just like any other package.
Want to compile certain stuff with clang and the rest with gcc? Or use libressl instead of openssl? Stuff like that? No problem. Just be aware that you might need to file bug reports if you do exotic stuff because gentoo won't prevent you from doing stuff nobody did before.
And installing gentoo by going through the install manual step-by-step, is certainly priceless for diving into linux under the hood. It's a bit like a LFS but without the hassle.
I doubt that's a linux problem. All apps store config in /etc, ~/.*rc or ~/.config
Everything else should be considered a bug (looking at you, systemd!)
Delta Chat is awesome encrypted/secure messaging via imap and thus compatible with anyone who has an email address.
Conversations is an excellent XMPP client.
Rather if they get merged without edits.
I've seen even minor changes without flawed technique or style being discussed and changed for days before getting merged.
But it's also an excellent way to learn from pros. If the PR is worth it, they will spend the time for review and work with you until you fixed everything.
