Everything just feels way more complicated than it needs to be.

I tried installing Openshot (a video editor) but I couldn't figure out how to fix the error it spits out when I try to emerge it.

I will now try out Arch and hope I don't need a master's degree to install packages.

Edit: Gentoo isn't the first distro I've tried, I've been daily driving Debian for more than a year and just wanted to try it out since I heard good things about it. And also I didn't really need to use Openshot, I just wanted some video editor and arbitrarily chose to install that one.

Also I guess I will just stick with Debian since apparently Arch is also complicated.

I really love how you try to paint every decision in the worst way possible. No Gentoo didn't abandon seatd it is commonly used. In what way is elogind trojan horse, I would really like to know.

Also, Gentoo is basically the only “major” distro that actually lets you now use systemd at all, actually most Gentoo users don't use systemd, so I really have no idea what you are talking about.

Love how you are trying to paint everyone who disagrees with you as some sort of FOSS revisionist and here in community “Linux for leftist” you are trying to recommend someone Windows…
