In this video I talk
In this video I talk about one thing I learned to do that made installing Gentoo much easier and much faster. No, its not some automation script. You will still experience the whole gentoo install, just with much less headaches.
Like if you enjoyed the video, comment if you have any questions!

This video is not a complete install guide, but rather a video on how to make the install easier, simpler, faster, more streamlined, etc.
I start using Gentoo back in 2014. At the time, I had 0 experience with Linux and was mostly looking for an alternative to Windows.
One of my friends introduced to me to Linux and told me to install Gentoo. I fell for the meme and went ahead and installed Gentoo.
When it comes to install Gentoo, I believe there are 3 major problems that people run into:
1. Partitioning
Most tutorials install on a virtual machine, so the partitioning is very rudimentary. Most likely, you'll be installing it on bare metal hardware with setups like Dualbooting or separate /home partitions.
2. Internet Connectivity
Again, most install tutorials use a virtual machine so internet is not an issue. But the Gentoo install media does not come with binary blobs required to get wifi working. So if you are installing it on a laptop, you will need to find an ethernet cable. But some laptops do not even come with ethernet ports.
3. The Need For Another Device
Because the Gentoo media is very minimal, you will need another device, such as your phone or laptop, to read the handbook. And this workflow is not very efficient. You have to use a small screen, you can't copy/paste command, etc.
The new way I learned to install Gentoo is to not use the Gentoo install media, but to use a Ubuntu install media instead.
Full Disclaimer: I did not come up with this idea.
Ubuntu comes with binary blobs so internet is not a pain to set up.
It also has a graphical user interface so you can use Firefox to open the Gentoo handbook.
It also comes with gparted installed for all your partitioning needs.
