Depends on why you're compiling. For some workloads, compiling can actually save a lot of time.

It saves time for me because it makes security audits much quicker.

If the optimisations matter or there's no package sure
but for day to day use, ehhh

If the system needs to be highly secure and lightweight for day-to-day use, then compiling is very useful.
It's more about customization than speed though.

@forest A kernel build (Clang full LTO with KCFLAGS="-march=znver3 -pipe takes about 15 minutes on my system. Firefox, on the other hand, needs about an hour and a half (with LTO and PGO enabled).

You might want to bring your frost-sensitive plants in from the patio. The high-level aerosols may result in short-term cooling across the entire backyard.

Does anyone know if there is a way to mess up your touch screen in windows 7 such that the display is one way, but touch is the other?
in my specific problem, I have the display rotated 270, and the touch rotated 0
but I don't know how it got this way

there's a text file that determines that ... somewhere?
sorry, its been a bit and I don't remember the details that well ._.

I've seen instructions on calibrating touch, so I will try that if I can get access to the device :D
@JourneymanGeek no worries, thanks for your help!
