Everything just feels way more complicated than it needs to be.

I tried installing Openshot (a video editor) but I couldn't figure out how to fix the error it spits out when I try to emerge it.

I will now try out Arch and hope I don't need a master's degree to install packages.

Edit: Gentoo isn't the first distro I've tried, I've been daily driving Debian for more than a year and just wanted to try it out since I heard good things about it. And also I didn't really need to use Openshot, I just wanted some video editor and arbitrarily chose to install that one.

Also I guess I will just stick with Debian since apparently Arch is also complicated.

Yeap, all new comers to linux should first try Gentoo, if it fails, then try LFS. After that, KISS linux should be a breeze
