Whaddayatawkinbout, gentoo is more than great, it's awesome! |

Gentoo isn't intended for beginners, and makes no claims about |
| 13 |
"user friendliness" of which I'm aware. Generally speaking, making |
| 14 |
things "user friendly" entails adding more layers of abstraction. |
| 15 |
It's nice for those who don't want to study to learn how to use their |
| 16 |
computer, but it's not going to give the best performance. Security is |
| 17 |
also frequently impacted to some degree. |
| 18 |
Were it otherwise, there might be fewer "geeky" distros and more "easy" |
| 19 |
ones. :) |

There's nothig wrong with using Ubuntu though - I tend to recommend |
| 22 |
Linux Mint over Ubuntu for eginner or non-technical users. |
| 23 |
Opensuse is just a mess everytime I try it (admittedly, more than a year has |
| 24 |
passed so maybe it's killer now). |

Good luck and enjoy your adventures in OSes. :) |
