 Fun fact, Gentoo now offers binary packages.  This is a thing they did recently.

 one of my co-workers also runs Gentoo, but he's a bit more insane than I am. he just did an update with the latest profile and it completely hosed his system.   

I'm still running a Gentoo profile from 2017 I think.  I got a notification the other day that I need to update my profile to something newer, but you better believe I'll be using some kind of clonedisk or something first just in case :D
