For example, I'm using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it "friendlier" for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be "the universal operating system".
I also think we could learn website design from.. looks at notes ..everyone else.

Honestly, that one had me scratching my head too, I doubt I'd ever use the precompiled binaries on Gentoo myself

The stage 3 tarballs and genkernel, though, make an install that could take a week or more down to a few hours; having successfully built a system from a stage 1 with customized kernel, that's not an experience I feel a burning desire to go through again

    It's a way to do, and yes it's not made for everyone. Currently im using vanilla Arch but i understand how great source installed Gentoo is
