Thinkpad P15v gen 3 running arch. I played around with fedora a bit but it was boring. I got a working gentoo install running but that was too complicated, so I settled on arch.

I’ll re-member you.
I’ve been using Linux for decades and I’ve never tried Gentoo. Kudos and welcome.
Eh, youre not missing Much aside from setting flags and watching it compile. I don’t think the performance improvements are significant enough at the point to bother. Though it was fun on some older systems.
Gentoo is fun to play around with but is not a daily driver at all.
Gentoo is a fun hobby tinker thing on some laptop you don’t really care about. I will say kudos to people who do use it as a daily driver as they have way more time than I do and I envy them for it. If I had the the time to dedicate to it I would use it as a daily driver.
Choosing gentoo from windows is a bold mode.
I am coming from mac, so I am relatively familoar with unix based systems. Its been fun so far.
I tried to install cachyos this weekend. Immediately broken due to rdseed problem with sddm. Turns out the year of the Linux desktop is a lot like the year of the Linux desktop.
Are you running older hardware? Something Debian- or Fedora-based, or even “vanilla” Arch Linux might be more stable for you.
Regardless, that sucks. CachyOS has been great for me, as my first Linux distro install (just a few months ago) since my previous attempt around ~2007.

Installer dispaly worked fine. Reboot after, and it didnt. I got it running, but it’s unfortunate.
