switched to Gentoo — hello, I just switched to Gentoo and it's been good. I learned about USE flags and how to unmask a certain package. I know there is a lot more to learn but right now as a newbie there is so much I could do. I haven't enabled the "guru" overlay but I would need it to run waydroid.

i use gentoo since 2005, if i was less stupid i would start using it earlier. i have been written an utility for rpm based distros that would have http path with src.rpm files in config file, would download src.rpm package, try to build it. check output, get dependencies, if any, repeat the process recoursively. that way i was able to build extra software for my redhat systems. also i was able to update rhels by not having access to binaries but to sources only. i also played with debians...
