I was a passioned Gentoo user for many years and I also only met 1 other IRL Gentoo user. Ok, there were more once at a Linux conference where a bunch of Gentoo users had a desk showing off Gentoo compiling @system for a BSD system.
Even the binary repository was not enough for me to not go back to Debian after ~10 years Gentoo usage. It was a fun hobby and a great learning experience.
I tried Gentoo once, I just straight up do not have time for that. It’s fine, honestly nice even, but the waiting omg. Maybe I was doing things wrong but I don’t have all day to sit around eating for things to compile
Funnily enough, the one irl Linux user I’ve met used Gentoo. I originally assumed they used arch.
