Thank you again Martin for your reply. Just to be clear: I ain't complaining about your work, and I am certainly not complaining about any suckless tools. If anything I became a big enthusiast of suckless tools, both because of its simplicity and "lightness": right now I migrate all my window managers to DWM and changed all terminals to ST, and I am using dmenu and slock as well. Also, I am not handing off any responsibility at all, all I am doing is asking for some guidance, if it is possible. If I properly understood your last comment you are confused with the fact that I am able to run Gentoo, which is not a distro for beginners, but at the same time I am failing miserably to understand something that fells very basic and simple to you. You are totally correct, I have been using RedHat and Fedora for the last 20 years but decided to use Gentoo instead to force me to learn a lot about coding and computation in general. So yes, the way the patches are implemented has been very difficult for me to understand, as you can see here https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=8143538#8143538, but I am interested in learning anyway, and eventually I know I will. So thank you again for your replies, I won't bother you any more.
