In order to be able to Further configure my system, I am looking for a fork of my current OS (artix with openRC as init system) in which i am able to compile every package from source in order to Further configure it with make flags. I am currently not using gentoo, and because the packages in its default repos are only updated when necessary, and the break-my-gentoo repo is more of a joke than an actual replacement for arch. However, if someone can recommand me a repo with similar package updates as arch, I would be looking at installing gentoo.
EDIT: Thank you for Pointing out to me that Gentoo can have newer Packages too. I did indeed not know this, and therefore just stamped off Gentoo as a stable rolling release distro. I will be looking at learning more about gentoo and eventually installing it, once I know how to use portage.
Just use Gentoo. Do it from scratch on the command line without the GUI installer like a pro 👍
At the very least you’ll learn how everything works at a deeper level.

I half agree with this I think maybe somebody should try arch first before using Gentoo because gentoo takes more time to compile
Definitely agree, there’s going to be mess-up’s and your learning process will be significantly slower when you’ve gotta compile everything
That is indeed my plan, to learn more about Linux by using complex Distros and learning how to use it.
