Funtoo is quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...

What is Funtoo Linux?

Funtoo Linux is a Linux-based operating system that is a variant of Gentoo icon Gentoo.

The main differences to Gentoo would be:

  • no systemd support, but still allowing one to run, for example full desktop environment such as Gnome 3.20
  • portage tree split into kits that allow more fine grained control for package updates, and packages can be now tied together inside the kit to minimise dependency breakage while upgrading.
  • use flags that are suitable for a task or environment are grouped into Profiles, allowing to select for example gnome profile with most of the sane use flags enabled inside profile.
  • stage3 archive coming with compiled kernel based on Debian's kernel.
  • simpler template based network configuration.
