gentoo is only cool about wasting your time, like any other source based distro. if you ever need, you can manually compile anything, the os shouldn’t force you to do it
I am was going through the install last night, failed somewhere when trying to install GRUB. The install manual is way more convoluted than arch. Plus arch gives you that nice install script.
I’m going to figure out gentoo at some point, but it really seems more like a challenge than something useful.
ah yes, grub NEVER works. it is overly complicated and much harder to set up than it should be. You can try alternatives though, like refind, limine, lilo, clover

I’ll check it out.
i saw many people recommend refind. And i heard it is not so hard to set up, if you pay attention
