[Expected Average Compile Times + Power Supply]

What would be the expected average compile times on this Linux box and would I need a larger PSU?

 

SPECS:

• CPU: FX-8370 (8 core, 4.0GHz)
• RAM: 16GB DDR3-1600
• DRIVE 1: 500GB CRUCIAL SSD
• DRIVE 2: 3TB 7200 RPM HDD
• PSU: Antec 350W (The only PSUs available are made by Antec)

 

Applications I plan to compile: VBox, ClamAV, LibreOffice, Dolphin, Vivaldi, SpiderOak, GNOME

[Modifing fstab]

So I assume I should increase the spacing in the fstab file?

[Modifing fstab]

So does everything in the file have to be inline with one another or not?

[Modifing fstab]

Does this look correct?:

/dev/sda1            /home            xfs            defaults,noatime0 2

When using nano, I am getting no space between the <opts> and <dump/p$> sections

[Modifing fstab]

How can I modify fstab to have sdb1, my home partition in? It currently looks like this:

NOTE: dev/sdb1 is the home partition

# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information
#
# <fs>               <mountpoint>     <type>          <opts>                    <dump/p$>
                     
/dev/sda1            /boot            ext2            noauto.noatime            1 2
/dev/sda2            none             swap            sw                        0 0
/dev/sda3            /                xfs             noatime                   0 1
/dev/sdb1            
#/dev/cdrom          /mnt/cdrom       auto            noauto,ro                 0 0

[1.1GHz Quad-Core Pentium Good Enough?]

So would a high-powered laptop CPU like a Core i5-7300 HQ or Core i7-7700HQ be better suited for the job? (High GHz, Quad Core). Where would I use -j, and what does it do?

 

If you can could you possibly reccomend a laptop good for Funtoo Linux that isn't over 2000 NZD (around 1500 USD) that would work well with KDE (if possible)

[1.1GHz Quad-Core Pentium Good Enough?]

Would a quad-core 1.1GHz Intel Pentium N4200 be good enough?

 

I wouldn't have that many "heavyweight" programs. The only "heavyweight" programs I would have would be Vivaldi (web browser) and VirtualBox (Virtualisation Software)

[Apt-Get and Portage [system76 driver]]

Is it possible to use apt-get along with portage? My reason for doing this is that i require a ppa for the system76 driver. That would be the only reason for wanting to use apt-get.

 

Also, has the system76 repo been forked so it is compatible with Funtoo?
