I got Gentoo installed on the HoneyComb LX2. It’s an upgrade compared to Void Linux for me.

You might want to change the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable to match your region aswell as the USE flags on wheter you use wayland, opendoas… etc… or not. I have 16GiB of RAM, If you have more than that, you can set the MAKEOPTS="-j" flag higher.
