And there be ways to install gentoo [based respins] with a gui, even 20 years ago.

    I installed gentoo slightly over 20 years ago and I don't remember a ui for it. I do remember compiling the Linux kernel

    Okay, let me clarify that with an edit, adding [based respins].

    E.g Sabayon's first release was out 20 years ago.

    I remember trying sabayon at the time and being disappointed enough to return to gentoo 😁

    Sabayon was my 2nd home, after suse, and just before my 3rd, proper gentoo. So I sabayon'd before I gentoo'd. The sabayon 3.* series was glorious. All aside distro surfing live systems, multiboots, and distro hopping on my other machine. Then came bedrock, and I stopped my rabid distro-surfing, without getting rid of gentoo.

    But yeah, if you're already on gentoo at the time of encountering sabayon, toorox, calculate, redcore, clover, or whatever, it'll be a hard sell, having already chosen to have it your way. Gentoo's all about choice, and best way to do that is to do pure gentoo. But still, only point I was making bringing up the others, is that even gentoo can be installed with a gui installer.
