Let me start by saying. I love Arch Linux. It's fast, easy (after RTFM), and all around my perfect distro if I need to go to something to tinker. However, I think I found my new distro to tinker with. While people go from Linux Mint to Ubuntu. I am going from Arch to Gentoo.
I tried Gentoo a year or two ago, but my laptop was slow as f**k and I had no clue what I was doing or how to read the manual. I tried to install Gentoo again yesterday or the day before and installed it fairly easy. Without videos might I add, just the manual.
The thing that set me off to try Gentoo again was when I was trying to make a custom kernel for Arch and was majorly failing and then I remembered that Gentoo was meant for that kind of customization.
IMO, the only thing that has annoyed me about Gentoo so far is that the Firefox-esr (I should have done the binary) takes ages and I couldn't get audio to work for the life of me. I finally have it installed however and aside from my mouse buttons not working properly and I have to make a custom kernel, I have crafted the perfect system.
DWM. Gentoo. Everforest. The only things that truly matter.
