An hour? Are you on a pentium4? I’m building everything from source, daily, multiple times and the longest it takes is usually 1.5hours for a complete build of Gnome, Firefox, Nvidia+Kernel. And that’s only if I don’t update for like a month. But just a kernel build, that should only take a min or two.

    I'm building multiple patchsets on a laptop. How tf do you expect millions of lines of even somewhat optimized code to compile in a minute or two? The configuration by itself wastes like half of that, not to mention nix taking 2 minutes to evaluate because specializations are slow af. It in fact takes more like 2-3 hours for them to finish.
