Doing some research before install, having a plan helps.

Everything including kernel took me around 25 hours.

Mistakes will happen, if someone don't tolerate them then maybe distro with less responsibility is better fit.

It's wonderful distro, flexible.

Yes, you can update once a week... despite what some random people say.

my favourite moment when installing Gentoo for the first time was when I carefully configured the USE flags to fit what I want, got thrown into the deepest circles of dependency hell and after painstakingly trying to solve it learned that you first have to build it without USE flags and only then configure it because apparently after all those decades Portage is still too stupid to resolve dependency issues like “package A needs package B only due to a USE flag and vice versa gee I wonder how I could solve that problem”.

I vividly remember the days almost 20 years ago when a simultaneous updates to Mozilla suite and OpenOffice would basically ruin my day. 😁
