Gentoo is the best platform for this.

NixOS. Gentoo gets into trouble when you need multiple versions of the same library at the same time. Also while the infrastructure supports it it's annoying that gentoo doesn't provide pre-built binaries, like yes some people might want to have reason to build their own bash but I think I'll be fine with a standard build. NixOS? If you install something usually it's going to be pre-built. Change a couple of configuration flags? May or may not be pre-built. You want to apply a custom patch? It's going to seamlessly build from source.

I remember that Gentoo recently introduced binary packages, however I didn't really look into it, as I changed away from Gentoo. (Looking at you Spidermonkey, llvm etc.)
