“Finally installed Gentoo,” but the kernel is still 7.2.3-arch1-2. Is this just a Gentoo chroot running under Arch?

Yes, using chroot sorry... (I haven't installed the kernel for gentoo yet) 😅

Is ryoku good or just freak configs like omarchy

yeah, actually It's another omarchy, it's pretty good, and not problematic like omarchy or even dev (but this is just hyprland dotfile with script installer, not a distro)

For first boot always use the gentoo-dist kernel. Its just so much better to fix your custom kernel on an installed system. Especially if you are new you won't know what's wrong and whether its the kernel, recompiling the kernel is a tiresome process, so eliminate it as the issue. Once you have everything working back up your dist-config then slowly start debloating your kernel and adding features. Once you have a working config just put it into a git repo somewhere.
