  1. Gentoo is awesome. Without bloated desktop environment the compiling times are not bad, though the initial installation takes a while. But the level of control, speed, and also security are worth it. The stability has really surprised me, and based on what some veterans told me, there really has been improvements on the package manager. I have both Ubuntu Mate, and Gentoo with Mate on the same laptop. The difference on speed, ram usage and responsiveness is quite amazing. But it's the feeling that you get when you are in control over your OS what has been the biggest surprise. I didn't expect this feeling, it has been complete surprise, but I guess lots of it comes from the fact that I had to learn a lot to really make Gentoo work on my laptop, had all the proper power management, Wifi and bluetooth firmwares etc. Gentoo's wiki is excellent, and the people helping in the IRC channel are so nice and helpful.

  2.  @speedflam  I'm compiling both stable and testing on my two computers. Testing has not caused me any problems thus far.
