I have been using Arch for five years and I think I would like to call myself at least a progressive beginner when it comes to Linux, computers and networking, to be humble. 🤣

I would like to “move on” to Gentoo or LFS to force myself to learn more[1]. Please share your pros and cons for switching to any one of these approaches.

Use case: a gaming rig (using nvidia’s proprietary drivers and an AMD CPU) on one system and a server on a separate system.

  1. This was my main incentive for switching to Arch a long time ago, and it worked! ↩︎

    You can use systemd with Gentoo. it’s more customizable and has a better package manager (imo) and better documentation. For regular desktop use I think NixOS makes more sense, even if I detest the language.

    More customizable isn’t necessarily better if you have no goals in mind, either way.

    I run neither on my “main” machine.
