Why use Gentoo?
Optimization (pkgs can be compiled for a specific CPU, ex.: -march=haswell)
Customizaton (USE flags)
Lack of trust towards binary packages provided by a binary distro
Ability to "package" almost anything (ebuilds)
Recompiling software from git when new changes are pushed ("live" 9999 ebuilds)
OpenRC (lightweight and flexible init system)
Free as in freedom (ACCEPT_LICENSE can exclude nonfree software)
Is a Linux (not necessarly GNU) distribution
