Gentoo on a netbook with an intel atom on less than 1GiB ram

I'm going to turn 30 before that thing has a functioning browser. It cost them 2 months when they decided neofetch was worth it for the meme

Why not simply download more RAM?

You have to compile it which would take a few more years

oh, I forgot that everything needs to be compiled on gentoo.

I use arch btw.

I installed gentoo on one of my old computers and it took two days of kernel compilation. When I got to the dwm desktop I played some doom and decided the computer will just work as a central server as it was just too old and the cpu couldn't keep up with firefox in binary form.

After that I just installed Alpine and got a similar, albeit slow, performance
