Right now I am using Gentoo on my gaming rig. On my laptop I use Arch. Debian on everything else.
I’ve been curious about switching my gaming rig to a Linux distro. Why’d you choose Gentoo? I know PopOS! Is popular for first time Linux gamers, but looking into it I don’t see any appeal over just setting it up myself and maintaining that setup.
I’ve used Linux for around 13 years. I like the level of control that it gives me and portage is a bad ass package manager if taken the time to learn it. Everyone talks about optimization which is secondary to me, but the ability to even optimize at compile time with LTO and other fun stuff is just an experimental plus to me regardless if it only speeds up certain applications by like 0.1% (but things are generally a bit more snappy in certain situations). But mainly I know how I want my system to be set up and Gentoo gives me the absolute freedom to do that down to a binary level.
But generally I don’t recommend anyone use it over anything else, especially to new Linux users. For them I would recommend Pop_OS!, Nobara Linux, or generally any other mainstream distro.
