"Gentoo Introduces Direct Binary Package Installations to Close 2023"
The Gentoo Linux project has announced that its Portage package manager will now offer binary packages for direct download and installation, a move that will benefit users on ARM64 and x86_64 (AMD64) platforms by providing a mix of binary and source updates. This update aims to ease the installation process, particularly on systems with limited resources, by reducing the need for source-based compilation. More information is available on the Gentoo.org blog post.
