Gentoo linux is perfect for me
Why?
Gentoo has everything I need/want. it meets my requirements well:
-
Choice - you can get anything on the distro (Like a custom kernel,
init system,
- Lightweight - the distro is light, comes with barely anything
- Manual installation - the installation process is manual
-
Customisable software - you can decide what features go into software
you install
-
Source-based - the software I install should be compiled from source
on my local system
- Rolling release - the distribution has the most recent packages
-
Big repositories - the software repositories should be big enough for
me to be able to use it
-
Good package manager - easy to configure, easy to add and create repos
package manager
Gentoo has them all except "big repositories", well it is usable by
default - i still had to create my own custom overlay for a couple of
packages, though GURU (basically gentoo's aur) has them all, so that's
like 0.5 of a point.
Gentoo also has great forums and in general community so I personally
love gentoo in a lot of ways.
