There are hundreds of Gentoo-based distos out there.
None of them have finished compiling yet.
Why are you defining the gender of a Linux distro lmao
Well, it's computer software, so it can't be non-binary.
Straight to pun jail with you.
Gentoo is source based isn't it?
... Making it non-binary.
OK BUT WHAT DOES IT COMPILE TO
/s
Wait until quantum computers evolve! Countless genders...
Technically correct
If Ternary computers take off we might have a non-binary linux distro.
Or LISP machines... everything functional is better.
You win the internet today.
You sneaky
Probably because english isn't their native language.
It's pointless to make a derivative distro if the base is already perfect.
I guess kinda the same reason why there are not many distros based on Slackware.
And what's that?

Both of them is about customization. Hard. I don't think there's two similar Slack or gentoo installation. So, for me, at least, it feels there's really no need distributions of those. Maybe it's just by definition, though.
Idk man, just wanted to look smart.
Because Genthree Genfour Genfive Gensix, etc. would get confused with other products on a Google search.
it's very customizable.
People make new distros based on existing distros to alter the software stack in the original distro. Gentoo allows you to use essentially whatever software stack you feel like, it's less of a traditional distro and more of a general-purpose Linux package manager and dependency resolver. It's not very opinionated at all.
