Gentoo Linux is a source-based Linux distribution, aimed around user customization. This distribution, in addition to having the systemd init system, also provides its own init system known as OpenRC.
Unlike other Linux distributions, everything you install is compiled on the local system. As such, users can use compile flags, known as 'Use Flags,' to help them fit their system to their use case. .[1]
Their unofficial mascot is Larry the Cow, a cow who was once frustrated at the state of Linux distributions until he found Gentoo Linux.[1]
