Pjolt - Thunderbird for iOS?

Chris - Which Android device?
The Pixel has Chris's vote.
Chaos-r3v - Juniper Network switches
At least under the hood Junos OS is based on FreeBSD
Stan - Multiple Operating Systems on the same hardware
It is posssible to dualboot Ubuntu and Linux Mint or just about any Linux distribution.
As far as which distribution is best, that really depends on you and what works best in your mind.

Gentoo website ~August 2001
March 3 2002 public facing movement was easily spotted.
March 31 2002, 1.0 was finally released!
The huge influx of new users it encouraged caused bandwidth issues for Gentoo.

Despite that work continued. 2004.1 was released shortly after that news, dot 2 in July and dot 3 in November.
September 2005, the first Gentoo Council was elected.
Daniel Robbins makes his glorious return to the project!
This lasted about 8 days before he resigned again.
Other developers joined Robbins.

October 2009, a LiveDVD release.
11.0, released in 2011.

It seems unlikely that AI will use less resources. With dedicated hardware we might not notice. It does aim to make the user experience better though.

Some distributions would eventually migrate to using Z Standard compression, including Arch in 2019 and Fedora and Ubuntu would make the switch in 2020.
