I get it, the learning curve is harsh but by the time you get through the install you will have learned a ton. The amount of time and energy most people spend in a given year fighting with MS bullshit is enough to overcome even the Gentoo learning curve.

No systemd, 100% customizable, an absolute nightmare to write malware for, runs forever on ancient hardware, stable as hell.... e.g. * Linux XXX-003 5.15.52-gentoo #1 SMP Sat Jul 16 10:40:39 EDT 2022 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux * Linux XXX-001 5.15.52-gentoo #1 SMP Sat Jul 16 15:31:09 EDT 2022 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

What am I missing?

Fair point about gamers, not one, but I don't really agree with the daily driver bit. It's my only distro, runs on three machines, and with distcc and throttles updates are a non issue as they can run in the background. I update ~once a month and machines have been stable for years.

I'll check out the references you mentioned appreciate the tip.
