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.

  1. This was my main incentive for switching to Arch a long time ago, and it worked! ↩︎

    LFS is a classroom. The point is to learn.

    For getting work done, use a distro that meets your needs, and has a community you respond to.

    Gentoo is great if you’re constantly on the outskirts of the garden.
