Installed Gentoo again after an 18 year hiatus
I guess I'll keep posting comments about https://www.calculate-linux.org/

Birth of the Gentoo Linux Distribution
Having started with Linux using Gentoo - after some attempted excursions into Debian/Ubuntu, then at work CentOS and even few months of having to use Slackware on servers until I finally convinced my boss that his T50-something Thinkpad will do same or better on Gentoo ... (and he won't need to manually chase up dependencies).
And even thought already for years compiling most of the things doesn't take that long. Just for not having to compile bunch of packages where I'm using standard/default config - I've tried Sabayon (back when it was still almost kind of Gentoo), went back to Gentoo ...
And then for almost a decade now - I've been extremely happy with https://www.calculate-linux.org/

Public package repository for Gentoo?
https://www.calculate-linux.org/ does
- I really want to use Gentoo but I'm tired of the compiling
-
Most stable and polished distro for few rather different purposes
Also don't overlook Calculate Linux as an option for getting into Gentoo using a GUI installer, pre-configured desktops, and a binary package repo for most of the common linux packages -- yet giving you a standard Gentoo system to work with. Apparently you would be interested in the Gnome Edition.

Gentoo Is a Project Car
If we follow that project car metaphor - https://www.calculate-linux.org/ is project car where you can get all parts pre-machined (already compiled) and you can still customize bits and pieces, or even whole thing.
That said - it's default config/profile and use flags are such that it's rare some package needs to be compiled.
- Do i meet the system requirements?
-
Is it possible to install KDE Plasma and its dependencies from a binary?
Mb you want to try this https://www.calculate-linux.org/ It's rebranded Gentoo with precompiled packages.

I need OpenRC, which distro is better?
Calculate Linux
-
what distro should i pick as a cs student/software engineer? (already have experience with linux)
The best of all worlds, for the OP, may be Calculate Linux which provides binaries for most packages while still allowing any package to be installed from the massive gentoo repositories (including overlays such as those for Common Lisp and Haskell).
