Back when I switched my main Gentoo workstation from an Ivy Bridge laptop to a 2015 Skylake iMac last year, I cloned the OS and changed the hostname on the old one, but left packages alone. Now I just cleaned up the worldfile on the old machine. Depclean is removing 734 packages.

Mix as in run both on different systems? Which tools do you find more mature? I've always struggled with Arch/build your own, type distros when it comes to a GUI environment, there's so many levers to tweak to get things working well. (Course wanting wayland doesn't help)

Really? The last Arch box I installed from scratch (some skylake HTPC I have upstairs) I just installed a bunch of packages and enabled sddm and got a fully working KDE Plasma desktop. Add more packages for features and that's about it.

Gentoo distro tooling is I fear the most well done, easily passing by Debian which used to be my benchmark for that.

Used to run slackware on my main workstation years ago, then Debian and now Ubuntu. I wish I had the motivation to install gentoo, and enjoy building stuff from source as I used to on slackware.
