[β] expr@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (2 children) Everything has to be compiled on Gentoo, right? So would the many binary nix packages even work? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] ragas@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) Sure, binary packages always worked on Genoo. Binary packages are the result of compiling. By now you can freely mix and match precompiled binary packages and selfcompiled packages on Gentoo. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ThePinkUnicorn@lemdro.id 3 points 10 months ago As nix is also a source based package manager, you can also just disable the binary caches and have everything compile on machine! I don't think you would get of the benefits of compiling it for your hardware though due to the sandboxing of the build environment. permalink fedilink source parent [β] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 point 10 months ago They would. But if you want to do it the Gentoo way, just disable using cache in Nix, it will manually compile every package you install. permalink fedilink source parent
