Obviously I'm a huge Gentoo fan, but on an ARM SBC unless you're |
12 |
either experimenting or you actually intend to be patching or |
13 |
reconfiguring packages the precompiled option is the way to go. When |
14 |
I'm using less-popular SBCs (ie not Pis) then I will usually look for |
15 |
whatever distros are supporting it in the most first-class way, again, |
16 |
unless I'm experimenting. Then I look for what has the software I |
17 |
need already packaged (again, check the arch because a binary package |
18 |
repo doesn't necessarily include your device, especially if it is 3rd |
19 |
party). I've had to compile things on ARM SBCs and it is SLOOOOOW. |

I have the same philosophy with containers. If I'm just running a |
22 |
service, and not tweaking things, I'll just pick the least-fuss base |
23 |
for my container whatever that is. |
