I’m going to be building a new computer soon for myself. (Going AMD for the first time, since intel microcode issue.)

I would say I’m an expert or advanced user, as been using pcs for 25 years and set up arch and slackware in the past. I have tried many distros and would like some feedback.

I mainly use my pc for gaming. I want something customizable, KDE ish, and without bloatware. A good wiki is a plus.

I think that i may end up with arch… is it better for gaming since it’s bleeding edge and isn’t steamos built off it?

Side question is distro chooser accurate?

    Ok I tried a gentoo setup this week. 8 hours in was able to build a kernel and get a cli on my box. But I’m failing at my attempts to get xfce or KDE or even startx to work. 😅 debating if I should keep it at this weekend or go back to my arch or simple eos.

    I like emerge and I like the philosophy but gotta get a bit more knowledge on this use flag thing.
