      To be fair, I did recommend Window 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows 7 to random people. It somehow stopped.
      I play on Gentoo, btw.

        There are literally dozens of us! Though I moved off Gentoo. I should get back.

          Yeah, Gentoo isn’t exactly an out-of-the-box gaming distro. But having all the gaming stuff (including GE Proton and Steam) managed by Portage is pretty neat.
          And don’t worry: When you are done hopping, Gentoo will always be there to accept you back without any judgment. It’s all about choice after all…

            Hmm I don’t think I ever had GE managed by Portage, I just compiled it the old fashioned way. Steam was definitely from some overlay and installed via Portage though.

            If I ever install Gentoo again, I’ll have to learn to make my own ebuilds. Tbf it doesn’t seem to complicated, but I never got around to doing it

        Distros basically are OSes. You get some choices of kernel with some choices of userland and some choices of desktop environment. Additionally, you get some update mechanism and optionally some customized looks, tools, and/or sets of settings. That’s all what an OS really is.
