If you need JDK-19 for some reason (new language features etc.) you can find it in my overlay (amd64/x64 only) at: https://github.com/hhoffstaette/portage/tree/master/dev-java/openjdk/ (or -bin)

Interested in installing Gentoo
For example, for some Go programs you just have sed the go.mod and fill the name and version: https://github.com/viperML/viperML-overlay/blob/master/app-misc/pixterm/pixterm-1.3.1.ebuild

A Leap
For me, it's about using portage. Keeping my own package repo is more convenient than in other distros, and Ebuilds can be really easy to write.
