I believe Gentoo supports multiple init systems, but it's definitely a challenge no matter what.

- colechristensen 2y agoGentoo is fun and does indeed give you the choice but…
- edoceo 2y agoBut.... nothing. Gentoo is awesome. I have free KoolAid.
- isatty 2y agoCompilation is so fast on modern processors that it’s not even much of a hassle. Portage is the best package manager out of any distribution. There are no buts. Gentoo is awesome.
- imp0cat 2y agoI am told that there actually are precompiled packages available in Gentoo now.
- blaerk 2y agothis is correct, there's even a precompiled kernel (dist-kernel), it works great! and when packages doesn't match your system settings, portage will pull the source and compile them. it's great!
- tmtvl 2y agoYMMV, I spend a couple of days last summer trying to get a Gentoo install with KDE running and after I changed something which caused a libc recompile, which took over an hour, I was so fed up I went back to Arch. ...granted, my potato only has an i7-6700 Skylake with 4 cores+hyperthreads for 8 threads at 3.40GHz, it's not one of those AMD Ryzen things, but still: I'm not running GNU/Linux because I want to buy a new PC every year.
