It may be totally fine, it's just a (at least perceived) can of worms that I didn't want to open, especially when steam is the only reason I'd need to deal with it. I definitely had trouble with it in the past but probably my own fault.

Totally understand. I wouldn't run Gentoo these days without using the binary repo. Have better things to do with my time.

I have 5800X3D and 64GB RAM so compilation is not a problem for me, especially if I just run updates overnight
