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?

    If you’re just looking to learn something new, why not try an immutable OS like Fedora Silverblue? It’s an easier install than Arch, obviously, but there’s lots of differences from a standard distro. There’s security upsides but also consequences to work around.

      Speaking of immutable, I’m surprised nobody has suggested Endless yet, which I don’t know much about but is usually suggested in these kinds of threads, and it’s immutable. You might want the ISO with the smaller size if you don’t want to basically download Wikipedia.
