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?

I get your point but everything breaks at some point. The question is how much time do you spend learning when things break and what do you learn? i.e. What/where/when is the ROI.

With Windows you learn to repeat actions and hope for a different outcome. With Apple you learn to spend money With most distros you learn systemd With an init distro you learn how a computer works and will quickly become a "guru"
