@marcan42 looking into gentoo, any tips for someone used to tinkering with linux but only has experience with AUR and custom Arch packages?

That's what i thought, and i had given it a try on my laptop, but a braswell celeron ain't the fastest thing on the planet lol, my 7740X should chew through it decently well.
If you're doing textmode that should be tolerable on any CPU, but if you want things like desktop environments, web browsers, and office suites, then yeah a Braswell would be quite painful.

FWIW until now I've been doing local builds on my main workstation (i7-3820QM). I have a *lot* of software installed (I mean a ridiculous amount). Takes ~50 hours to recompile it all. Doing monthly world updates was a "leave it overnight" kind of deal.

Now I have a Threadripper 1950X as a dedicated build box (builds packages for all my other Gentoo systems). Takes 14 hours to chew through a full recompile of my workstation's packages. I've scheduled weekly updates for everything and they should mostly be done in a few hours.
