Recently, I’ve been using linux(tried multiple distros). I’m curious about how linux works, it’s architecture! Is there a book, guide, video, etc to learn about linux? By using linux, I get to know something. It would be better If I know how linux works!

    The standout feature of Gentoo is its configurability; you can configure portage, the package manager, to enable and disable features of a package at build time.

    Say you don’t have Bluetooth. You can just exclude Bluetooth from every package by setting the use flag globally:

    */* -bluetooth
    

    it can even manage dependencies, a good example is picking pipewire over pulse.

    It’s also easy to package software that isn’t in the official repos - here’s a post where I did just that.

    The community is fantastic and supportive, and you can often get a near immediate response in IRC.

    Finally the documentation is excellent, especually the handbook.
