What’s the reason for Gentoo having so few distros based on him compared to other distro families?
Why are you defining the gender of a Linux distro lmao
Probably because english isn’t their native language.
Well, it’s computer software, so it can’t be non-binary.
You win the internet today.
You sneaky
Technically correct
If Ternary computers take off we might have a non-binary linux distro.
Or LISP machines… everything functional is better.
Gentoo is source based isn’t it?
… Making it non-binary.
OK BUT WHAT DOES IT COMPILE TO
/s
Straight to pun jail with you.
Wait until quantum computers evolve! Countless genders…
People make new distros based on existing distros to alter the software stack in the original distro. Gentoo allows you to use essentially whatever software stack you feel like, it’s less of a traditional distro and more of a general-purpose Linux package manager and dependency resolver. It’s not very opinionated at all.
it’s very customizable.
I guess kinda the same reason why there are not many distros based on Slackware.
And what’s that?

Both of them is about customization. Hard. I don’t think there’s two similar Slack or gentoo installation. So, for me, at least, it feels there’s really no need distributions of those. Maybe it’s just by definition, though.
Idk man, just wanted to look smart.

Because Genthree Genfour Genfive Gensix, etc. would get confused with other products on a Google search.
There are hundreds of Gentoo-based distos out there.
None of them have finished compiling yet.
