@julia @Li actually not really

if i need some software not in gentoo i package in usually in 5 minutes or less, because the tooling is there

having one package manager with a consistent and well-integrated setup is nice

tho i agree that overhead is a stupid argument, the whole point of containers is that they *don't* have the same overheads vms do... the only """overhead""" is somewhat increased disk usage if you have multiple different images that don't share a base
