I would think the ‘benefit’ to Gentoo would be your own compilation flags and optimizations.

Void is kinda like a mix of Debian and Arch. Mostly stable packages, but the package manager is top-notch, like Pacman.

True, but I didn’t see much improvement—at least not compared to the work involved in getting there. I suppose in cases where you need the last ounce out of your system, but I still question the effort involved vs. the increased system useability unless the system in question is older and needs it.

I do use the ALHP repos (V3 & am thinking about V4) & that has helped my system without all the added work.

Really at the end of the day the Distro that is best for you is determined by your own level of controlism.

Funny.

I got Manjaro… but I think the questions and options were less than optimal.

What I didn’t understand is that my list had several which had “We cannot recommend this distro to you because…” listed. If you can’t recommend it, why in the name of God did you list it?

And for the record, Debian was #1, probably because I said I wanted stable instead of fast updates. As many have said, the questions and possibile answers were not very good led by the Windows v. Mac question.

First in the list for me was Fedora, which is where I am right now.

Arch was my first response. Seems like EndeavourOS is a good fit 😃

So I quickly prepared a similar website with major improvements. Of course - the user interface right now isn’t the cleanest one, since those improvements have been made in the distro suggestion engine at back-end. Here is my version of this website.

Interesting site, got it right too.  
Arch \> Gentoo \> Void \> Artix

Although i don’t know void and artix, manjaro was somewhere far down the list for some reason, eos wasn’t on it at all. For my next install i’ve been considering Cachy for a while, but lately been thinking maybe Gentoo or FreeBSD.
