    I am looking for a distro that is based on Gentoo or is heavily inspired by it. I am a long-time Gentoo user and Debian on system where I don't have the time to maintain it. I love the flexibility of Gentoo, but although my hardware keeps up, I find my self often not willing to wait hours for an update on my main machine. I am glad that there are some binary packages for some programs and I use flatpak, too. But even though, updates take too long, time I want to spend using my computer. I thought of going to Debian everywhere, because it is stable and does not move too fast regarding major updates. So, Arch-based distros are no option for me.

    Can someone of the community recommend any Gentoo-based distros?

      Since my question, Gentoo has changed in a favourable way. Guess what, I did not have the time to switch somewhere else. Enabling the binary repository for my existing Gentoo install was easy.

      Once again I have zero complaints and I can stay on Gentoo. Updates don't take ages anymore. 🙂
