I mean, is it really worth it to compile every single program that I install? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time? I am inclined to try it out but on the other hand idk

    Compiling isn’t that bad. Other than the initial install, compiling is done in a terminal window while you do other things. With today’s multi-core CPU’s, times aren’t bad either.
