Hello and welcome to the forums. Congrats on switching to Linux, it can be a little bumpy but stick it out, it will all come good in the end! Your friend is right, gentoo can help you learn a tonne of stuff about how Linux works (mainly because gentoo is still a little raw). Google can provide you an answer but sometimes it doesn't explain why that answer is the answer (if you understand what I mean!). Everyone is a noob in the beginning but you'll pick it up :)!
WELCOME :)
