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?

    not doing anything during and after install

    You know that those of us who use Gentoo as a daily driver don’t just stare there and watch things compile, right?

    Maybe once during the initial install but on a modern system kicking off updates before bed and coming back in the morning to an updated computer isn’t unusual (just read any news and postinst messages).

      When I was using it, every two or three months. And even then, kick off an update or install, go to the bathroom, get some coffee, come back and it’s ready.
