    Everything gets compiled at some point to be able to run.

    Lot of people running large gentoo server farms will compile and run binary’s. Even Gentoo is officially supporting binary packages for their stable branch. Package set is ever growing right now too

      What I meant is that compiling the same program on 100 machines is a horrifying waste of resources and downtime. Binaries exist but it destroys the point of Gentoo that was never meant for production in the first place.

        Except you can compile binaries on one machine and install those binaries on the other 99. Gentoo is probably the easiest way to create a custom distro because of this.
