Just wanna preface, I’m not trying to like attack Gentoo or anyone that uses it, I just wanna understand lol
I’m like an intermediate Linux user I’m definitely not an expert, and Gentoo is something I’m still quite confused about. To me it just seems unnecessary, like the real version of people making Arch just seem incredibly complicated. Does anyone actually use it as a daily driver? Why? Is it just for the love of the game? Is there some specific use case I’ve not heard or thought of?


Yeah, for sure. It’s not really unique to Gentoo, you theoretically can do it in any distro, some are easier, some are harder. Gentoo is one of the easier distros to keep minimal in my opinion.
