I made a nice script to help guide you and automate most of it
https://git.poster.place/verita84/arch/src/branch/main/gentoo.sh
But you are basically reading the wiki
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64
It's not that hard. Just make sure:
1. Choose the right profile with eselect
2. Helps if you have distcc on other machines to shorten compile times. I have 6 Gentoo machines that distcc runs on
3. Build evverything in tmpfs to save your disk
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Tmpfs
4. Use gentoo-kernel-bin to install the fast binary kernel just to get up and running quickly instead of compiling your own kernel from the beginning.
Everything I did on Debian works great on Gentoo. Compiled apps to your hardware run noticeably faster, like GIMP, LibreOffice. A compiled kernel that you optimize with modlocalconfig, boots your OS very fast and suspend/resume is faster.
If you are not using Gentoo,you really are wasting your computers potential
RE: Alright. Let's say I want to install it for production.
Is it as easy (although I understand it may take longer) as installing Ubuntu, as far as most things working out of the box?
