I did that. Unironically, I just said fuck it, I'll give it a shot.

And... it just works. Like updates kinda fuck up a bit after not using it for a bit (I didn't have time to use my desktop lately), but everything works great.

I'm sure I could get mostly the same experience with Arch, but it's just fun to flag off entire parts of software from even compiling. Also OpenRC is great.

I can stream Steam games, which works much better on Gentoo than Ubuntu with the same hardware.

Gentoo is not a meme, the compiles on modern CPUs are fast, software is wonderfully packaged, and I will not use anything else on my desktop ever.
