I followed Mental Outlaw’s 2019 guide and followed the official handbook to get up-to-date instructions and tailored instructions for my system, the process took about 4 hours however I did go out for a nice walk while my kernel was compiling. Overall I enjoyed the process and learnt a lot about the Linux kernel while doing it.
I’m planning on installing it to my hardware soon, this was to get a feel for the process in a non-destructive way.

I run it as my main gaming OS, no joke.

Do we have some kind of a remindme bot here? I’m away from home for another week and this is my desktop.

There is at least a few of us. My gaming desktop, personal laptop, and work laptop are all running Gentoo!
I remember trying to install gentoo back in 2007… gave up after 3h of endless compiling and came back running to debian
It’s very different now. Much more smooth. Of course you still configure the system manually. But following the handbook will get you a working system pretty easily.
oh, I don’t doubt that, all distros I’ve come across have come a long way since I’ve began using linux
Running Kingdom Come: Deliverance while doing a world update in Portage. Have at it!
Now why is there an EA launcher icon in the taskbar? Well, I was going to take a screenshot of Mass Effect LE, but EA launcher decided not to cooperate with me, probably a Proton update or something (KC:D was also having a brand new crash till I switched over to Experimental). I was too lazy to look up the process ID and kill it because I’m going to restart when I update my kernel to 6.5 anyway.
now we all can safely believe you ;)
