Congratulations! I ran gentoo years ago and liked it. These days I’d rather someone else spend the money on the electricity. Void is my go to distro. Nice and stable, light weight with runit. Great with zfsbootmenu and an encrypted zfs file system.. easy snapshotting and rollbacks in case of a disaster.

void is a fantastic distro, i used it on several laptops (including a 32-bit thinkpad!)

but yeah, gentoo sucks a lot of electricity ⚡🔌 (and time! ⏳)

i used to run it on my laptop too, before i switched to artix 🐧➡️🐧

Artix is good too. I have it running on one of my 6 thinkpads. Can never have enough thinkpads.

to add to this, i use F2FS (filesystem), and timeshift for backups

no bootloader, i just use the UEFI menu if i need to change boot targets
