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?

    I’m also not following “not doing anything during and after install” - what do you mean by after install in that sentence?

    I made the mistake of trying to pacman -S librewolf not realizing it was going to compile from source. An hour later (on my Ryzen 7 5800X) it wasn’t finished, so I killed it and installed librewolf-bin.

      librewolf is not an official arch package it is in AUR. So you couldn’t have just typed pacman -S librewolf to compile it; and if you really wanted it without compiling libreworlf-bin.
