Thank you for your reply, Mark.

Unfortunately, you missed my previous message in this thread
where I wrote that I do have Ubuntu 20.04 on the same computer.
However, tensorflow fails to run on it because it is not compiled
to be inconsistent with my videocard. So, Gentoo is my only option
for this hardware.
