Is there an up to date quick and dirty gentoo installation guide?

install gentooo

CloverOS is a good start.

Guy Robot does a video of him setting his main desktop install up and so does Antoun Sawires on Youtube. Gentoo is unironically the best OS you could ever use

I have installed Gentoo, it is not worth the time and effort unless you honestly need its features. If you care so much about free software go parabola, otherwise go arch. If you don't want to deal with bleeding edge software go ubuntu/debian/etc. Literally don't meme yourself like I did. Sure Gentoo is "faster" but you are wasting way more time maintaining the system than you are saving cause you compiled the code for your specific hardware.

Look for a guide for installing Gentoo via another distro's liveCD.
Installing Gentoo is actually not hard at all, but the documentation is abysmal.

I disagree with the others regarding it requiring taking much effort and time >>62091444 or it's just a meme >>62091376 . But maybe that's because I've used Gentoo since 2007. And in the meantime I have compared the experience with other stable distros like Ubuntu LTS, Debian, CentOS. When I first started using it, yes it required a lot of work and time to maintain it but that was because I was a retard and didn't know how to use it and everything was always breaking because of the stupid things I was doing. Some good ideas off the top of my head: don't try to over rice your flags, don't keyword ~arch globally or excessively mix branches, keep your world file clean and use oneshot if a packages is already in the depgraph of a package that's already in the world file. But I got gud and nowadays I hardly even think about it.

I consider documentationish as a own language.
Yes its hard to read.
Try to get used it.
We all hate it and we all *have* to read those garbage to get the information we need.
Fucking documentationish.

I can almost guarantee you went over OPs head yet again with that jargon.

You got gud. You talk gud. But he ain't gud yet.

Personally OP, I would do CoverOS because it is probably going to be just comfy enough for you without needing to understand A B S O L U T E L Y E V E R Y T H I N G right off the bat. Good luck, fuckface.

Just respectfully disagreeing for posterity sake with those two sentiments I see commonly posted here.

If you can't grok the Gentoo handbook then spend more time learning GNU/Linux with an easier system than jumping straight into the deepend.

You might be able to install it by following the instructions without really understanding what you're doing, but you'll almost certainly have to repeat the process at some point in the future in that case.

Ok my answer was shit since we are talking about wikis.
Still valid for whitepapers

1/2
boot hybrid iso, get copy-pasting from browser and easy wifi
spawn root shell
partition the disk

parted -a optimal /dev/sda
mklabel gpt

set 1 bios_grub on
mkpart primary 3 131

download stage3 tarball

ntpd -q -g
cd /mnt/gentoo
wget https://mirror.dkm.cz/gentoo/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3-amd64/stage3-amd64-20170824.tar.bz2
tar xvjpf stage3-*.tar.bz2 --xattrs --numeric-owner
rm stage3-*.tar.bz2

edit make.conf, add:

nano /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"

select mirrors and config portage

mirrorselect -i -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/repos.conf

mount new fs and chroot in

mount -t proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --make-rslave /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
mount --make-rslave /mnt/gentoo/dev   
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
mkdir /boot
mount /dev/sda2 /boot

set profile

emerge-webrsync
eselect profile list
eselect profile set N # desktop
emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse @world

locale and timezone

echo "Europe/Brussels" > /etc/timezone
emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
nano -w /etc/locale.gen # some UTF-8 locale
locale-gen

genkernel

emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
emerge --ask sys-kernel/genkernel
nano -w /etc/fstab
/dev/sda2   /boot        ext2    defaults,noatime     0 2
/dev/sda3   none         swap    sw                   0 0
/dev/sda4   /            ext4    noatime              0 1
genkernel all
emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware

misc

nano -w /etc/conf.d/hostname
passwd # root password
emerge --ask net-misc/dhcpcd
useradd -m -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash larry
passwd larry

you should also install some packages for first boot like Xorg, wm, wicd and browser
GRUB

emerge --ask --verbose sys-boot/grub:2
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

unmount and reboot

 
exit # chroot
cd
umount -l /mnt/gentoo/dev{/shm,/pts,}
umount -R /mnt/gentoo
reboot
