calmer than arch linux.
fix problems then forget what'd changed
partial up/downgrades are near-violent
though archwiki+aur remain supreme
the source becomes yours.
grow+reduce the feature space in package.use
change build-time definitions in package.env
pick old/calm/new in package.accept_keywords
bend code like paper in /etc/portage/patches
edit ebuilds without forks via install hooks
When the ground hurts your feet,
you recompile it.
A hundred directories,
a thousand packages,
zero land outside of your kingdom.
no way am i remembering how those 100 comments link together (ᵕ°ㅁ°)

Donald Knuth called this wish "literate programming". Wikipedia ⇗.
And of course, my Gentooic triptych —— site, knowledge base, conf tree —— has minimal dependencies in C (the most fun language other than Rust). Wootwoot.
Come join me where I've ranted about my configs ⟹, and how I'd gotten there.
Or perhaps look at my GitHub source code ⇗. It's pretty understandable, you should be able to copy it to your system.
Or you can make this Linux blog fall apart.
