So you may have heard of the install gentoo meme, when I looked the guidebook I thought it looked a little complex like with Arch.

Does Gentoo have something special that other distros do not? Apparently you can use the USE FLAGS to determine what stuff you want and it’s meant to be even more lean on resources.

Isn’t there a Gentoo installer like with Arch? With Arch I can confidently just run the installer on a VM but I got stuck with Gentoo

    There is still a lot to learn from running arch before you try gentoo

      Fair enough, personally I prefer to skip a few steps and then try to figure out what’s going on. It’s not the best approach, but I find it more interesting.
