Gentoo Linux is the prototypical source-based distribution, but there is
now a
binary installation option available as well.

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience,
we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct
installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core
system and weekly updates – not so for amd64 and arm64
however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our
mirrors, from LibreOffice to KDE Plasma and from Gnome to Docker.
