I have been using Arch for five years and I think I would like to call myself at least a progressive beginner when it comes to Linux, computers and networking, to be humble. 🤣
I would like to “move on” to Gentoo or LFS to force myself to learn more[1]. Please share your pros and cons for switching to any one of these approaches.
Use case: a gaming rig (using nvidia’s proprietary drivers and an AMD CPU) on one system and a server on a separate system.
This was my main incentive for switching to Arch a long time ago, and it worked! ↩︎


I agree with everyone here, if you want learn stuff than LFS is amazing, I encourage everyone to go through it at least once. But it’s not a daily driver, if you want a daily driver stick go with Gentoo or stick with Arch.
I agree. Also to add to this if your someone to casually learn things and use it at the same time Gentoo is a great step up from arch.
