Gentoo

After using several Linux distributions, it hard for me to find one suit me well, I have been using openSUSE TW for about two years, it is an excellent system, help me and take care of all the miscellaneous. But when I started getting involved with Linux Kernel, I would like to try some interesting features like the musl libc and no-multilib system, and it is easy to customize my own system from kernel to software. If a want a feature I can tell the system I need it and recompile the software, of course other system can do that too, but Gentoo offers the most convenient way to do such thing through it’s “USE flag”. ...
