Yeah, Gentoo isn’t exactly an out-of-the-box gaming distro. But having all the gaming stuff (including GE Proton and Steam) managed by Portage is pretty neat.
And don’t worry: When you are done hopping, Gentoo will always be there to accept you back without any judgment. It’s all about choice after all…
Hmm I don’t think I ever had GE managed by Portage, I just compiled it the old fashioned way. Steam was definitely from some overlay and installed via Portage though.
If I ever install Gentoo again, I’ll have to learn to make my own ebuilds. Tbf it doesn’t seem to complicated, but I never got around to doing it

I got app-emulation/proton-ge-custom-bin from the kzd overlay. The overlay is in the eselect repository list.
