upside is better support, actual meaningful dmesg messages (usually they are full with some errors which never matter), less attack surface, optimization (there are many options with certain trades, and sometimes there is a big difference between ur needs/wishes and the mainstream approach) + better driver support for niche hardware, + less binary blobs
downside: it takes a few hours. especially if u try to understand all the options for the first time
i would do it again if i have a cool new laptop. ricing is fun, not only desktop level.
having a nice encryption setup , with coreboot, boot verification, backups, deduplicating filesystem and a nice wm config with a nice terminal config with a nice shell config is mental self care
