Been using Arch for 3 years and programming for 1 year. Still in college.
The jump from Ubuntu to Arch was unbelievably illuminating, is there a similar one from Arch to Gentoo?

Well...., not really. It depends on how you look at things. If you really want to get obsessive over the packages you install and their dependencies, and spend extra time waiting for them to install, and if you have a hate boner for systemd, then yeah, it might be enlightening or something. The pride in using Gentoo mostly comes from the extra work involved to set things up. It's kind of fun, but probably not worth the effort in the long run.

nope, but you'll spend a lot more time fixing things if you want an actually usable system

It's worth it if you don't run the "normal" nowadays Linux setup, and by that I mean you don't use systemd but rather something like busybox, you don't run an entire DE instead a wm, you don't run PulseAudio and so on and on.Also portage is a great package manager.But then again this fucking maymay of learning "the inner workings of Linux" by installing certain distros is retarded.

Just read the linux from scratch books and don't actually install it. If you're studious enough, you may absorb some stuff.
