Welcome to Gentoo, a highly flexible, source-based Linux distribution.
Happy New Year 2026! Once again, a lot has happened in Gentoo over the past months. New developers,
more binary packages, GnuPG alternatives support, Gentoo for WSL, improved Rust bootstrap, better NGINX packaging, …
As always here
we’re going to revisit all the exciting news from our favourite Linux distribution.
Once again it’s FOSDEM time! Join us at Université Libre de Bruxelles, Campus du Solbosch, in Brussels, Belgium. The upcoming FOSDEM 2026 will be held on January 31st and February 1st 2026. If you visit FOSDEM, make sure to come by at our Gentoo stand (exact location still to be announced), for the newest Gentoo news and Gentoo swag. Also, this year there will be a talk about the official Gentoo binary packages in the Distributions devroom. Visit our Gentoo wiki page on FOSDEM 2026 to see who’s coming and for more practical information.
