Package availability though? Gentoo has a massive selection, plus tons of community overlays, and adding packages is *very* easy!

I admittedly didn't look much into adding packages. My workaround in some cases was to have a chroot of arch that had everything there.

I find Arch missing a lot of stuff that Gentoo has in the main repo. If you count AUR it's fine, but Gentoo does compiling better :)

The latest one that struck me as odd was nut (UPS tools), it's only in AUR. I guess none of the Arch devs owns a UPS? Gentoo has it :P

Along those lines, do you normally go for the stable packages or the unstable? I found the stable ones fell further behind than I liked.

On this machine I ran stable for many years, but hundreds of lines of package.keywords later I switched to unstable. Stable on servers.

I've found that running Gentoo on a server is a hard sell to people. All I usually work with in that department is RHEL and CentOS.

I run 6 personally, plus the
@euskalencounter infra which is almost all Gentoo. Works great with a binhost and shared packages/config.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I also run some Arch boxes though, it's my go-to "I want a GUI fast" distro. Random laptops, auxiliary servers, Raspberry Pis and such.

Basically stuff I care about runs Gentoo, stuff I care less about runs Arch, and people pay me to deal with Debian/Ubuntu.

(I'm not sure people could pay me enough to deal with RHEL/CentOS :p)

Not a huge fan of RPM-based distros :)
