Introduction
Many especially newer gentoo users drown in paradox of choice, here are some choices to just relax and enjoy your system:
Base System
follow the handbook( read 100% of it not just install section ) use desktop openrc stage3
kernel
unless you really need it just use gentoo-kernel-bin and grub
desktop environment
kde has a profile, binary packages and its got many more maintainers than gnome
package selection
run pure stable, do not unmask anything from testing
tweaks
just enjoy the sane defaults and only change what you need, keep a notebook of changes to make maintainence easier
conclusion
stop calling gentoo a meme or a mess or bad just dont make a mess and be aware of the consequences of your actions before you do them
