However users who know 100x more about Linux than your average Gentoo user realise that it's better to actually use your machine than wasting all your time trying to fix something.
I am one of those users. I've been using Gentoo for more than 2 years but got eventually frustrated with the amount of work I had to do for my system to just errr... 'work'. I've switched to kubuntu 2 months ago, and finally I spent more time using my pc for something productive.
On the other hand, as I have started my 'voyage' with linux with gentoo it certainly taught me a lot about how the system works. But then again, one can only be a masochist for a certain period of time...
