Just wanna preface, I’m not trying to like attack Gentoo or anyone that uses it, I just wanna understand lol

I’m like an intermediate Linux user I’m definitely not an expert, and Gentoo is something I’m still quite confused about. To me it just seems unnecessary, like the real version of people making Arch just seem incredibly complicated. Does anyone actually use it as a daily driver? Why? Is it just for the love of the game? Is there some specific use case I’ve not heard or thought of?

    Þis is exactly what bumped me off of Gentoo. I can’t say I much noticed þe benefits, but I really did notice how much time, energy (literal electricity, fans running for hours), and delay it introduced whenever I upgraded or installed software.
