I personally find the 2 incomparable. I find that arch for a lot of users (not all, some people just hate arch) becomes one of 2 things; either they make a 2month-2year pit stop at arch, or they never leave it. The ones that move on, move into the far more advanced distributions. Gentoo is included in this. They offer different levels of customization. One is not better or worse, just incomparably different. A more comparable set in my mind would be NixOS and Gentoo, or Arch and Void. NixOS, while being a primarily binary based package manager like arch, shares a deeper understand of Linux in the user. This is where I find it comparable to gentoo. Gentoo aims to reduce as much bloat as possible by allowing the user to utilize portage to remove use flags and unnecessary bloat, whereas NixOS aims for reproducibility and a static file system (along with a million other things, but i won’t get too into the intricacies of the Nix language and package manager).

@@yutsuneko you don't spend week updating browser. Compilation can be offloaded to other machine or run entirely in background. There is no issue if it fails, it just produces packages, you don't have to sit in front of the terminal. Arch base files are shipped only as binary, where on Gentoo both options possible - can get as binary or as source. Non-base files aka "useful software" on Arch (aur) is entirely source code - same as gentoo (if those ship as binary, both can install those). Ebuild is very close to pkgbuild, difference is in per software tune flags - Arch exports none, they are all inside pkgbuild. So Gentoo provides much more automatic flexibility dealing with source, where on Arch you have to modify pkgbuild manually. You didn't understand what I mean with dependency hell - you always get it if you use binary-only. Package_v1 uses lib_v1, newer package_v2 uses newer lib_v2. On binary if something uses lib_v2, you have a conflict. This is the reason why upgrading is highly encouraged on Arch. On source, you have an option to configure and compile to use one library. Binary have very big problem with this, compiling is not a problem - network storage quickly explodes offering many options. This is why proprietary software stacks (Android, Ios, Windows) prefer to release in huge chunks, freeze between cycles and store a ton of legacy old binary libraries. On gentoo you can just compile to latest library instead, so long interfaces/functions themselves have not deviated by a lot (python 2 vs 3 etc). On arch they recompile and ship everything often to solve that, so you have to accept that policy of quick changing versions. Who produces binaries - controls how system moves.
I have used arch for 2 years and gentoo for 4 years, and now on debian 12 because I just want to work, I don't have enough time and peace of mind to customize anymore, good memories but good buy minimal gentoo and arch
From an outsiders perspective Arch seems to be like someone saw early computers and fell in love, Gentoo seems to be under the same mindset but you saw other distros as unpersonalized and wanted to get it to come to life yourself.
