      Yeah, honestly you can replace Arch with Gentoo. Arch is for when you don’t have a life for an afternoon or two while you’re getting set up. After that it’s smooth.

        The Gentoo forums were a great help when I mained Gentoo. It’s been years, needed windows to play WoW to avoid the bans at the time.

        Anyway yeah it was fun trying to figure out why it broke or what portage dependency blew up.

      Tux Jigsaw is “Linux from Scratch.” It’s not really a distro, but rather a guide that walks you through configuring an entire Linux distro from the ground up.

      Gentoo is a distro focused on compiling pretty much everything from source locally.
