One advantage of using Sabayon is that you can compile programs to be optimized for your CPU architecture. There are many optimization options<\/a> and I use -march=native -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -floop-interchange -floop-block -ftree-loop-distribution -freorder-blocks-and-partition. Chrome on Linux is the fastest browser for sites that you visit often<\/a>, as they are cached. Furthermore, you can boost Chrome performance beyond the benchmarks<\/a>.
\nI follow a few simple steps for upgrading Sabayon:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. equo update<\/li>\n
  2. equo install entropy equo<\/li>\n
  3. equo repo mirrorsort sabayon-weekly<\/li>\n
  4. equo upgrade<\/li>\n
  5. equo conf update<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Wolfden has a nice article explaining these steps<\/a>. To upgrade Chrome, I use the Portage package manager:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. emerge –sync<\/li>\n
    2. layman -S<\/li>\n
    3. equo install sys-devel\/gcc-[version]<\/li>\n
    4. gcc-config -c<\/li>\n
    5. equo install www-client\/chromium-[version]<\/li>\n
    6. emerge -av –oneshot –nodeps =www-client\/chromium-[version]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There were errors coming from different packages when I tried to compile them without steps 3-5, such as configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables and gcc-config: error: could not run\/locate ‘g++’. Installing the gcc version listed in gcc-config -c fixed the problem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
