As an admin that installed gentoo on all computers (>300) of a company producing Windows (oh the irony) i can say: the overhead of maintaining one gentoo system and the synchronizing the machine company-wide is neglectable… It was about 2hours a week, less then i used for Windows or ubuntu
Everything is compiled from source. This allows a few advantages, hardware specific optimisation, choosing which parts of the software you actually need eg disabling bluetooth support and being able to patch and modify the packages. Plus the gentoo community is friendly, smart and very Helpful.

There is a reason if gentoo is better? Like it have a particular thing that other distro don’t have?
