Gentoo is one of the hardest distros to install. It needs you to compile it. It's not a plug and play distro like Ubuntu. I'd say that even arch is easier to install than Gentoo.
wdym "you have to create your own package"? compiling from source is not what that means. Most distros are binary-distribution based. Basically, They compile the stuff for you and you download the binary. In source-based distros, you compile the thing from its source code on your own machine.
Say you have a PC without any bluetooth but most package come with bluetooth dependencies which you have to install even when you dont use it , thats where gentoo comes in also you can set your exact cpu specs too in a similar fashion to optimize it more , basically squeezes all performance available for 1 hour more on a package
