@finlaydag33k >Linux kernel bad because it takes many CPU cycles and huge amounts of RAM to compile with chances it'll fail to compile multiple times too?
Linux is only a kernel, so please don't imply it's more than a kernel.

Linux is bad because it contains proprietary software disguised as arrays of numbers - I use the free version - GNU Linux-libre

With a cut down .config, Linux-libre is quite pleasant to compile and compiles every time.

>most distros bad, must build entire distro yourself so you have 100% control over everything!...
Most distros are bad, but there's no reason to write yet another distro when you can install Gentoo-libre or GNU Guix.

When it comes to large software, I've found gcc to be a program that compiles the most reliably.
