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.

I think I escaped it because I use Garuda. They have their own copy called Chaotic-Aur where they prebuild and scan stuff.
