Hi people of gentoo! I have installed gentoo before more as an experiment but this time I am going to do it in order to daily drive it. I currently run on cachyos but wish to use gentoo so that I dont have systemd. I would rather use dinit, but most likely use runit as it officially supported. I would like the features in cachyos as they for my system show a pretty good difference over vanilla arch. I tried dealing with artix, but there isnt much I can do with that tbh and gentoo has more opportunities for me to work with.
Thank you very much everyone in advance.

CachyOS offers to compile all packages with optimized CFLAGS. That is certainly something it's possible to do with Gentoo, especially if you compile from source. ;) But Gentoo also has a binary repository of x86-64-v3 packages.

Gentoo can do LTO but we are tracking issues with it at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=lto and will hopefully flip the switch once things progress a bit further (we are basically in the home stretch).

Not really sure what else CachyOS is actually doing, other than providing a patched kernel with a specific scheduler. You could apply that kernel patch to Gentoo as well, pretty easily. See e.g. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches in case you're unfamiliar with this functionality.
