@nyanide @arcana gentoo isn't a bleeding edge distro tho. it is rolling release but has some emphasis on stability.

for software where i can judge myself those choices are reasonable - gentoo ships wine 9.0, arch ships 10.0 - as a wine dev imo wine 10 is quite experimental still, there have been some major refactors in the x11 driver that cause regressions in a few places.

arch is a lot more bleeding-edge focused
