I'm daily driving Gentoo GNU/Linux (https://gentoo.org). I prefer it over other GNU/Linux distributions because it allows me to customize the operating system down to a lower level. I'm also planning on installing Linux From Scratch (https://linuxfromscratch.org) for educational purposes. However, I might end up daily driving it. I do extremely difficult and tedious activities on my computer just for fun and I... Source: about 1 year ago

TL;DR: It doesn't matter that much for everyday use, just for problems, package manager, and release cycle. Nobody's situation is the same, but just as a word of advice, for a first distro, unless you're willing to learn a lot, you should probably stay away from Arch or Gentoo. I personally had no problems with Arch, but I also probably know more than your average guy on the street when it comes to computers. If I... Source: about 2 years ago

This isnât something youâd do, most kernels in binary distributions are designed for the most hardware support possible. While it is possible to manually configure + build a kernel, you miss out on vendor specific patches and itâs your responsibility to update your kernel.
