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?

    I have, in fact I have migrated my home config to nix. The syntax is still a bit weird and still unfamiliar in some cases, especially around the inputs, overlays, etc. Next time I install a system it will definitely be NixOS, currently it’s only running on a backup laptop that I use for testing.
