I'm not really into linux development much so I can't comment much other than "I hope it offers general performance improvements"

So far my world in gentoo recompiled with it ok, so it seems no serious compatability regressions at least.

I get old. I programmed on C99 = 1999. It seems there were several newer C revisions, see below

C23 by default: GCC 15 changes the default language version for C compilation from -std=gnu17 to -std=gnu23. If your code relies on older versions of the C standard, you will need to either add -std= to your build flags, or port your code; see the porting not

My only wish is for shorter compile times and faster executeables.

Yeah I can program C++ but not very well. I grew up in the high-level language world and find them easier when quickly hacking something together, but no denying they are pigs in several departments vs good old C languages.

I also did some motorola ASM in a higher grade tech class long ago, but it was a very dated cpu that lacked a multiply instruction. I think the instructor was using it to force us to "get creative" lol. Would not seriously advise this. Still, I managed to make a pong clone in a <64KB executable, so yeah.
