You should check the rest of it out, there’s some pretty interesting stuff

You can actually use ISOs from most other distros to install it. I think the wiki even mentions it

Very true, what OP said barely matters nowadays but the features you listed definitely give Gentoo an edge over most other distros.

Also, we gotta shout out the sheer stability of gentoo and honestly having to compile system packages isnt that bad if you use flatpak.

The only thing you really need for a good gaming distro is to be relatively up-to-date.

If you want the optimisations garuda provides you can just install them yourself on whatever distro, though they will probably be rather negligible.

Yeah but have you hear of our lord and savior Gentoo Linux? When you use it time itself becomes optional!

Ah yes of course, all legally ripped from legally purchased discs

Unless you only plan on playing just a couple of specific games (in which scenario I’d recommend using rpcs3), I think a ps3 could be a cool investment.

The console itself is easily hackable and pretty good at emulation and piracy It’s got a ton of amazing games and might even run quite a lot of ps2 games.

You could probably find one for even less than $120 so if you have some money you want to spend on games a ps3 is totally worth it
