For a Linux noob, should I start with something easy like Ubuntu or dive deeply in something like Gentoo if I want to learn? What's the best approach?

I started with Ubuntu, but got bored after two weeks and installed Arch. I like the up to date software and rolling release. Find a distro that suits your needs.

Install Gentoo.

I want to inject for a moment so hard right now.

Everyone starts with something like Ubuntu. If you start with something like Gentoo, you won't know what you're doing and you'll soon find yourself wishing you had just stuck with Ubuntu.

Or Mint.

If you feel like you can take on a challenge you should start with a minimal installation of Debian and work your way up from there. If you want a comfy experience, start with Ubuntu. Gentoo has a lot of stuff that's specific to that particular distribution and won't be useful anywhere else and it's advantages (especially when you take in the time needed for compilation as a factor) are debatable at best.
