How tinkery is Gentoo?

So I fell for the Arch meme and I'm tired of having to screw with my entire system to do things.
I'm also starting university soon, so I don't want to have to worry about my system freaking out.
So I'm wondering how stable Gentoo is, and if its usable in a university environment (Computer Engineering), whilst also running Windows 10 in a VM for proprietary software.

Though both arch and gentoo are fun to fuck around with, they don't really work. You should seriously decide to go with some of the more mainstream distros like (x)Ubuntu or something like that. They are alot more stable and there is a reason most people use them.

That's true. I used xubuntu in a VM for a while.
It seemed to work flawlessly. Really lightweight too.
Thanks.

If OP gave a shit about your bandwagon fallacies he'd be using Windows, wouldn't he?

Gentoo is very tinkery. In fact, that's one of it's joys of using it. You get to customize your Distro in great depth, and individually get to change the settings on each binary during it's compilation.
If you want something that just works and doesn't require a lot of effort though, you should consider OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
