I am looking for a distro that is based on Gentoo or is heavily inspired by it. I am a long-time Gentoo user and Debian on system where I don’t have the time to maintain it. I love the flexibility of Gentoo, but although my hardware keeps up, I find my self often not willing to wait hours for an update on my main machine. I am glad that there are some binary packages for some programs and I use flatpak, too. But even though, updates take too long, time I want to spend using my computer. I thought of going to Debian everywhere, because it is stable and does not move too fast regarding major updates. So, Arch-based distros are no option for me.

Can someone of the community recommend any Gentoo-based distros?

    I second this. I have been using Void for a year now, and it’s blazing fast.

    Additionally FreeBSD is amazing, too. As Gentoo is almost a BSD distribution, you would feel right at home.

      Second this, once I got used to Gentoo, the jump to FreeBSD was small.
