Welcome to Gentoo, a highly flexible, source-based Linux distribution.

2024 in retrospect & happy new year 2025! (Jan 5, 2025)

Gentoo Fireworks Happy New Year 2025! Once again, a lot has happened over the past months, in Gentoo and otherwise. Our fireworks were a bit early this year with the stabilization of GCC 14 in November, after a huge amount of preparations and bug fixing via the Modern C initiative. A lot of other programming language ecosystems also saw significant improvements. As always here we’re going to revisit all the exciting news from our favourite Linux distribution.

It’s FOSDEM time again! Join us at Université Libre de Bruxelles, Campus du Solbosch, in Brussels, Belgium. The upcoming FOSDEM 2025 will be held on February 1st and 2nd 2025. Our developers will be happy to greet all open source enthusiasts at our Gentoo stand (exact location still to be announced), which we will share this year with then Gentoo-based Flatcar Container Linux. Of course there’s also the chance to celebrate 25 years of compiling! Visit this year’s wiki page to see who’s coming and for more practical information.
