@marcan42 looking into gentoo, any tips for someone used to tinkering with linux but only has experience with AUR and custom Arch packages?
Now I have a Threadripper 1950X as a dedicated build box (builds packages for all my other Gentoo systems). Takes 14 hours to chew through a full recompile of my workstation's packages. I've scheduled weekly updates for everything and they should mostly be done in a few hours.

Nice, unfortunately i can't afford one of those on a Home Depot budget

Sure, just giving you a benchmark. i7-7740X should be at least 2x faster than my laptop I'm guessing. And Portage has some issues maintaining full parallelism, so the Threadripper goes underutilized (need to debug that). So I think you'll be fine.
