CPU had it coming.
It had to be the “install SteamOS on anything” guy

Me too (sometimes)
Many years ago, when the first quad core CPU’s hit the market, I had a friend working in Intel. I got myself a Q6600 quad core for pennies on the euro and promptly installed Gentoo. Oh how I made that CPU work for the pennies I paid for it.
Honestly it was the only thing at the time to tax a quad core. Most games were not well optimised for 4 cores and more or less nothing else was anything but single threaded.
What if i use Passive cooling ;)
<joke> How did you get yours to be passive? Mine are all passive aggressive! </joke>
gentoo isn’t environmentally friendly
but jokes aside though, does every single software update is to be compiled locally? If so then it is quite of a power hungry system for a desktop use. I’d understand if gentoo is tailored more on minimal server use that updates much less frequently.
i believe they started providing binary packages recently, i never tried gentoo properly so not sure though
oh yea I vaguely remember seen that
turns out it’s been 2 years https://www.gentoo.org/news/2023/12/29/Gentoo-binary.html
Sweet, I’ve always wanted to fry eggs on my CPU!
