   do Gentoo users configure the kernel features by hand as well?

     @kaia if your lazy you can use the binary kernel, but the last 15 years I configured most options of the kernel.

     @kaia depends. If it is relatively sure that you come across different devices like usb serial adapters i configure all or at least the most common. But stuff like GPU or network cards, where I don't expect different drivers i use only those.

     @kaia after a few rounds of not working devices you are painfully aware of what drivers you need

     @kaia @cell Well https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/by-others/funroll-loops/Gentoo-is-Rice.html is supposed to be a meme.
     
     Kernel config is more interesting to avoid occasional weird distro choices, like there's a lot of security toggles and of course some are a bit arbitrary from a distro pov.
     And being able to use the version+patches you need, like for bugfixes or very recent hardware.
