I haven’t used Arch in a long time, but from what I remember…
Arch and Gentoo are both rolling releases, but Gentoo is rolling stable while Arch is bleeding edge.
If you game, you can’t beat being able to drop kernel patches in a folder and have them applied on every update. Works for all packages, not just the kernel.
GURU has a bit more oversight than the AUR, but not as many packages.
You can enable the bleeding edge too, if you like. The repos have multiple versions of packages.
I need the bigsceen beyond patches for better VR support.
I’ve never contributed to the AUR, so I can’t really compare. GURU does have a bit of process in exchange for some oversight, but there are completely unmoderated overlays too.
That’s completely fair! I think pacman is a much nicer to use package manager than emerge, and Arch has a great community :3
That’s cool. What does Gentoo do better than Arch in your opinion? Any category! 🙂

I’m thinking Arch is definitely for me, then:
Still, I’m curious: what kernel patches do you feel the need to apply, as a gamer?
