I followed Mental Outlaw’s 2019 guide and followed the official handbook to get up-to-date instructions and tailored instructions for my system, the process took about 4 hours however I did go out for a nice walk while my kernel was compiling. Overall I enjoyed the process and learnt a lot about the Linux kernel while doing it.

I’m planning on installing it to my hardware soon, this was to get a feel for the process in a non-destructive way.

    I remember how rewarding and satisfying it was when I finally installed Gentoo for the first time

      Same. Gentoo taught me so much. Wouldn’t run it today, though. Ain’t got time for that.
