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

Bootable Gentoo QCOW2 disk images - ready for the cloud! (Feb 20, 2025)

Larry the Qcow2 We are very happy to announce new official downloads on our website and our mirrors: Gentoo for amd64 (x86-64) and arm64 (aarch64), as immediately bootable disk images in qemu’s QCOW2 format! The images, updated weekly, include an EFI boot partition and a fully functional Gentoo installation; either with no network activated but a password-less root login on the console (“no root pw”), or with network activated, all accounts initially locked, but cloud-init running on boot (“cloud-init”). Enjoy, and read on for more!

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.
