Really fasttracked my Linux learning experience too. If you're starting out Linux and are predisposed to masochism like I am, using Gentoo as your first distro really catalysed my understanding of Linux (at the cost of a week's worth of crying and self-loathing lmao).

That is very much a plausible argument, but I did start out by drinking tea instead of coffee when I was younger because my parents fearmongered me about coffee. Stayed a morning person throughout.

I drink black coffee and am a morning person

A Tater Tot is a mindless follower of some very punchable asshole called Andrew Tate. Also in regards to your second point, while that is true, they will and already do have that stupid stereotype ingrained in their racist minds anyways. Might as well take advantage of it.

Oh yeah, you're right, I agree. My bad, didn't really think of that for a sec.

Gentoo lets you do basically whatever you want. The whole idea of it is that you make all the decisions in your system, as opposed to how most distros impose their developers' choices.

To be honest, I only use it for fun. Unless you enjoy tinkering like I do, or you have really low RAM, there's no reason to use it over glibc. I'm aware that Madaidan also mentioned that it is more secure, but I'm not too knowledgeable on that so I can't really comment.

Even if they do remove them from the official stores, you can always go straight to the source and sideload it.

Only if you show me the aftermath

On a more serious note, though, while I do 100% that the "Thin Blue Line" is pure idiocy, I don't think that actually going out of your way to harass them (even if it is warranted) is in any way effective in convincing them otherwise and having them see reason. Same reasoning as with why many young boys these days fall down the alt-right rabbit hole and become a Tater Tot.

You can even mix and match it H/SELinux with musl (and Clang, if you're up for some masochism and performance boost), though it does require patching sometimes. From my experience, you can find patches from Alpine's Aports and that should fix it ~90% of the time, but sometimes you'd need to write your own. Another tip in case you're interested in trying musl on Gentoo is that there's a compilation flag for large file support documented in Gentoo Wiki's musl development page which fixes compilation failures caused by calls to functions with names ending in 64 (e.g. fseek64). This is yet another massive source of compilation failure in musl. Lastly, you should mask musl versions ≥ 1.2.4 if you want to have any semblance of a * good time with it.
