i have never had any complaints about the speed of apt

me either. it pulling updates from a bunch of different mirrors can slow it down sometimes if they're overseas (or if you are and the servers are in the us, i guess) but if you have a fast connection it's not bad at all. i really never got the complaints about it being slow, and i've been using it since like 2001

hell termux on android uses apt and even that isn't slow enough to complain about

its super great that if your company needs a package manager and you all have macs and you personally have issues with booze that you get to type 'brew install <x>' and see "Pouring keg :cool:" all over your computer all the time

it might honestly just be that pacman spoiled me. it downloads the files, and extracts them to the place. in comparison, apt is like doing a bank transfer.

in 2002 i was basically living at my gf's house and set up this hideous k6 machine with a 20" Sun monitor with the BNC inputs on our dining room table. i fired up a gentoo stage 3 install where it compiles everything or w/e and after three days of a golden orb spinning at full rpm it finished, then i couldnt figure out how to quit vim and just installed win2k.iso once again. anyways we broke up a few weeks later and i dont blame her

gentoo is good. you can even install it with binary packages now.

but i wouldn't recommend it if you don't like to tinker, that's the whole point of the distro
