Good question. Perhaps NixOS, because it allows you to easily compile your own packages (?)

You're just compiling the same broken code.

The idea is that you download the most recent version of the source code of the package.

I'm on Gentoo 15+ years, am familiar with this theory and process.

Its the same problem just at a different point in time. The latest code introduces the latest bugs and security vulnerabilities too.
