ABOUT exGENT Rpi5
I’ve built a Gentoo system for Raspberry Pi 5. Just for fun, but it took me four days to compile everything from “scratch”.

exGENT Rpi5 is a full Gentoo/Linux Desktop system with LXDE ("an extremely fast-performing and energy-saving desktop environment"). The most important included apps are NetworkManager and Firefox.

Rpi4
You can also run this build on a Raspberry Pi 4. Just replace /boot/config.txt (on the boot partition) with this file: https://raspex.exton.se/exgent-rpi5/config-rpi5-rpi4-exgent.txt
