I explicitly did not mention Gentoo - I know a bunch of people who run it in production. But, for anyone considering to do this - if you&#x27;re running Gentoo, you&#x27;re essentially building your own distro, which has massive advantages but is also a huge effort. You&#x27;re now in charge of security updates, maintenance and Q&amp;A. What if you&#x27;re leaving the company? There are many Debian or Redhat admins, but good luck finding a Gentoo expert.
