I'm currently just after the fedora stage so far. Guess I better go try Gentoo.
Although I don't consider myself an advanced user, I used to daily drive Gentoo a few years back.
Just don't waste your time compiling packages like firefox and libre office. There are binaries available for big packages so make use of those. It won't make much of a difference in performance imo.
Wasn't that Gentoo's whole shtick? You'd compile everything from scratch so it would be very slightly optimized for Your Hardware?
I should note I used to recompile my own kernels under Slackware, so I'm guilty of this.
Yup optimizations and customizability is what makes gentoo unique. For starters - You can use any init system, replace glibc with different c libraries etc.
