Funny to be reading this, because on Friday, I decided I should join the modern world and install Arch (I’ve been using Gentoo pretty much exclusively since it was new).
It’s Monday, and I’m back on Gentoo. And the reasons for that surprised me. (And yes, I spent all of Sunday compiling).
Arch was not as stable. I don’t know why, but I was having weird crashes (mostly with audio apps). Gentoo breaks at the install stage from time to time, but I do not ever have random application crashes.
The Gentoo docs are better. Those are fighting words, I realize, but I find the Gentoo Handbook a lot easier to work with than the Arch wiki. The GH is more opinionated, but I feel like that’s a strength.
Your mileage may vary, I suppose, but since when do gentoo users care about mileage! ;)
