To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors, from LibreOffice to KDE Plasma and from Gnome to Docker. Gentoo stable, updated daily. Enjoy! And read on for more details!

Outside of the whole compiling from source thing, What are selling points of Gentoo over Arch?

Seems most Gentoo users I've ran into are either diehards about compiling their own packages or they've simply used it for over a decade and are super familiar with it.

That weirdly makes me wanna try it less. That was it's whole thing. It's a convenient thing tho

Wait, didn't Gentoo have a binary cache? I seem to remember many years ago that I used one..

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
