Yes and no.. I think it will always be possible to use Gentoo to |

create as smooth a desktop experience as any distro provides, but |
| 8 |
it will certainly require knowing every single detail of what makes |

that desktop experience possible. |

One doesn't have to exclude the other, but users will have to know |
| 21 |
how things work, in order to use Gentoo to get things the way they |

want them. Just like it has always been. |
