 Ac> Shit, plenty? Maintaining one Gentoo box is an exercise in futility. :)

 Meh, I've been using Gentoo for probably 20 years at this point. It has its quirks, but no distro has taught me more than Gentoo has. 

 Ac> I may give CentOS a try one of these days as I've always heard great
 Ac> things about it, but my servers will most likely always run Arch.

 modern CentOS (The ones labeled "Stream" ) are a far cry from what it used to be. It was designed to be a rock-solid super-stable enterprise-grade OS.  Rocky Linux has taken its place, literally.  Rocky Linux is now built the exact same way that CentOS was, downstream from RHEL.  Redhat moved CentOS to be the "upstream" distro, and now RHEL is built from it.  It's sacrificing a bit of stability and a lot of support.  Rocky is the same as RHEL line-for-line. It's just missing the proprietary Red Hat things.  Alma on the other hand, does take some liberties and will go ahead and fix bugs or upgrade things here and there that aren't part of the RHEL releases their release is based on.  

 Ac> Whatever you're comfortable with, I say go for it!

 Pretty much.  I'll still make fun of people who use Macs, though, any chance I get.
