I’ve installed arch Linux and liked it, but lfs and Gentoo would be too time consuming compiling everything and not doing anything during and after install. Are there any distros like arch that don’t have me compiling everything?

    There isn’t anything about arch I specifically don’t like, I’d just like to see if there’s anything that’s better in a certain criteria I don’t yet know of.

      There are lots of good distros. The question is a bit too vague for useful answers.

      You could always try NixOS.

      Arch may not be particularly easy to use, but it’s a simple system, in that you can build a mental model of your entire setup with a fraction of the effort and time that you’d need to expend with other systems. It gives you the standard Linux experience without fuss, or handholding.

      Nix, however, gives you several capabilities that other systems won’t, but you’re paying for that through its learning curve.

      Just enable flatpaks or install Pop_OS! and use only flatpaks.
