To be frank I went away from Gentoo for much the same reason. And the constant compilation. I only used it once after that for a small project where I needed to minimise what actually lands in the OS.
Just the little things, really. App compatibility, xbps not having too many packages, issues with Musl, GRUB not loading on the LiveUSB, desktop/WM selection, and also I don’t like the way Runit works. I could make it work if I needed to, but overall it just seems like too much effort.
That’s why God invented OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for all your stable rolling release needs.
Yeah, either openSUSE or Gentoo will probably fix my issues good and proper.

But all that was years ago.
what about void linux
Despite its popularity, I’ve never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time’s the charm!
what did you have trouble with?
