From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And yes, I fear to find only frustration for some tweaks and changes I can do only with Gentoo. Choosing how I boot my machine and such. No grub, systemd-boot instead, etc.
Debian is still the closest. Maybe I switch to it on my laptop, which I currently don't use much.
Maybe I should try something more ambitious like NixOS on the spare machine (laptop) and see whether it feels right for me; I can always fall back to Debian.
