Back when I switched my main Gentoo workstation from an Ivy Bridge laptop to a 2015 Skylake iMac last year, I cloned the OS and changed the hostname on the old one, but left packages alone. Now I just cleaned up the worldfile on the old machine. Depclean is removing 734 packages.

at some point I may have made a hobby out of having as few packages as needed installed to keep stuff working on my Alpine servers
surprising how low it can goThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Why gentoo out of curiosity?

Back in the day it was the only decent rolling-release distro, and today it's still one of the least intrusive and most flexible ones. Nowadays I mix Gentoo and Arch. I could probably live with Arch everywhere, but I find Gentoo's tools more mature.

BTW, care to share how you run your binhost?

I send a WoL wakeup to my Threadripper box every Tuesday and it runs a script that runs emerge in several chroots. The binary packages directory is NFS mounted from my server, and the portage tree used at the time of last build gets pushed there too. It emails me any failures.
