      That’s what the average Gentoo user looks like after staying inside for two months installing, setting up and troubleshooting their system. Had it once, maybe a bit over 20 years ago. I respect those who love it, but it wasn’t for me.

        It’s way way better nowadays.

        Took me a bit of fiddling to actually boot, but afterwards it just works. Rock solid, I recommend it to anyone with more than 5 core CPUs.

      After the AUR debacle, I’m considering it.

          I think I escaped it because I use Garuda. They have their own copy called Chaotic-Aur where they prebuild and scan stuff. Between that layer, and me being slow to update, according to the scan, I avoided it. The packages that were infected that I had installed were older copies from before the infection.

        Just don’t download anything stupid from AUR. Verify your getting the correct, supported packages, and you should be fine.

        Try it, you start by installing it from chroot, so there’s nothing to lose.

        It’s very good, though I don’t use a full DE, so my compile times may not be representative.
