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
