  1. Download Gentoo Linux. Start reading it's handbook and installing it. When you encounter anything on the handbook, or installation, that you don't know, start Googling about it as long as you have enough understanding on that detail/subject and continue with the installation. After you have finished installation, continue using Gentoo, and learning about it's features. And try to install all sorts of software that you like. Never give up, fix all problems by googling, using Gentoo forums, Gentoo IRC channel, and soon you will find that you have learned just incredible amount of things in a way that you have broad understanding of things. Depending on the level you are at, this will be massively difficult, but I have to say that it's one of the best decisions of my life. But that learning curve is steep, and frustrating. But also incredibly rewarding.

  2.  @iusegentoobtw  I have never used Arch, but installing it seems to be about the same as certain parts of Gentoo install. Though Gentoo can be really hard, especially if you are using the testing branch and use LTO overlay for much higher level of optimization. One general rule that I found out, if your compiling of certain package crashes, limit the amount of threads for compiler to use. Certain packages use just ridiculous amount of RAM, with LTO overlay and thus all optimizations maxed, the worst packages use almost 3GB per thread. But that is largely due to LTO. But still if you have problems and have less than 3GB per thread, it's worth to try compiling with less threads. I can compile almost all with 8 threads while having only 8GB, even with the maxed optimization, so I would just use the amount of threads your CPU has, and then if you encounter problematic packages, just lower it to 1 thread per 2GB unless you are using GentooLTO overlay, which I wouldn't recommend for anyone when installing their first Gentoo. Gentoo's IRC channel is full of saints. And really knowledgeable people who will help. Also Gentoo wiki is pretty good, though I still use Google to find the correct wiki pages, though in general I don't use Google to anything else that that and wNvidia Bans Hardware Unboxed, Then Backpedals: Our Thoughtsatching Youtube. Good luck, eventually you will thank yourself for this decision, while the learning curve is steep and feels like it continues forever, but suddenly you find that you handle the system and understand it really good. And that happens quite quickly. And that feeling is amazing, and then you really fall in love with Gentoo.
