Gentoo on StratOS

What is Gentoo?

Gentoo Linux, the ultimate DIY distro, isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s like building your dream car from scratch, where every nut and bolt is handpicked to fit your ride. With Gentoo, you’re not just a user; you’re an architect, crafting a system tailored precisely to your needs.

But be warned: this level of customization comes with a price. Compiling everything from source means long hours of tweaking and troubleshooting. However, for those who relish the challenge and crave absolute control over their system, Gentoo delivers unparalleled performance and flexibility.
