    I was using Gentoo for some years, and I have to say I do not regret switching to Arch.

    That said, power to those chosen or damned to wield Gentoo in the eternal war of kernels. They are the fabric of reality, interstellar light and darkness, they are the reason we, common folks, can live peacefully with precompiled packages, not knowing the pains of building everything from sources.

      Many years ago I ran Gentoo as well. Switching to Arch was a considerable upgrade. I admit I’ve been running Ubuntu since Lucid (aside a brief stint of Fedora). It’s nice that things mostly just work. It allows me to focus on life and not wifi drivers. Man, that sounds like such a cop out.

      Anyhow, there’s part of me that would love to play with those cosmic distros again some day.
