Easy Calamares installion, in minutes. No need to use emerge & all its tedious flags, sisyphus-gui pkg installer does all the work for you like apt.Or just use the command line "sisyphus install pkg && sisyphus update && sisyphus upgrade. Redcore will look for binary pkgs to install, if there is no binary it will let you know that you need to install a source pkg by adding " --ebuuild" after the name of the pkg. This is by far the easiest & most stable gentoo to install & maintain. It's still pure Gentoo, with OPenRC NOT systemD See More
Have been using for 3 years, OpenRC, fast easy to maintain, pre-configured Hardened Linux with a graphical installer that allows encryption of the HDD with the power of Gentoo using binary pkg & when no binaries are available then will build from source. The ease of Sisyphus (portage) pkg wrapper that won't break your builds. So so easy unlike all other Gentoo derivatives. You don't need a Thesaurus to install a pkg. Just about all the essential software is preinstalled for general pc usage. See More

Distro based on musl libc for a very light system, with GNU software available for those who need it. It's a young distro so it's also ripe for contributing and engaging with the free software community. See More

Contributors are already bringing more server software to the distro, including certbot, cgit, and Nextcloud. See More
