    I use NixOS, Gentoo, and Debian:

    • NixOS because I like declarative configuration files.
    • Gentoo because I enjoy compiling from source.
    • Debian because the other two are more difficult to use.

      Technically NixOS is all compiled from source too (if you disable the binary caches). It has since taken away Gentoo’s raison d’être a bit in my head. Debian still holds a special place in my heart too, for its simplicity and stability!

        I wouldn’t say so. We currently don’t hold a candle to USE-flags. Many packages are already configurable but there’s no standard on anything w.r.t. that.

        There’s no technical reason we couldn’t have such a standard but it hasn’t happened yet.
