I mean, that you couldn't get past drive partitioning doesn't make it difficult to install for everyone.
But it does make it more difficult relative to the others, which is all that any unitless chart is ever saying.
Lol what? As the other comment says, partitioning disks for Gentoo is exactly the same thing as partitioning disks for Arch. If the problem is a PEBKAC thing you can't just blame the distro.
The alleged "difficulty" of installing Gentoo is just about reading docs and waiting for it to compile stuff, it's no rocket science as you people are trying to FUD.
Reread what I said.
A>B is a relative statement that gives no information on the absolute values of either. If I say that Miami's elevation is greater than New Orleans', that doesn't mean that I'm saying Miami's equal to the top of Mount Everest.
