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.

I find Gentoo's configuration management and package handling more mature. Arch is more like "yeah you get to install the latest version of everything, and upgrades follow no rhyme nor reason and there is no way to mix versions of anything".

So basically I use Arch for boxes that only do a few things or that don't really have much long-term systems work put into them (more disposable), and I use Gentoo for my servers and main workstation.
