Gentoo is flawless, install gentoo or perish.
If you're a newfag, try out funtoo, it eases up some shit and might even be better than gentoo in some regards.

If installing Arch takes upwards of 30mins to an hour, you're not the kind of person who should be installing Arch.

I had a temporary job at a major health insurance company. Some of the other temps in our department were working Windows 10 migration. I ended up befriending one of them and I stayed at his place for awhile because I had a falling out with my parents. It took that guy DAYS to install Arch. I stood over his shoulder and watched a bit telling him how to do things, but he basically told me to fuck off because he wanted to do it himself. Blew my goddamn mind.

Once I tried to install arch 2 years back on a refurbished thinkpad. Ended up not having a wifi driver and I was too dumb and lazy to finish the installation some other way.
I threw the thinkpad down a flight of stairs tbh

arch isn't even very minimal since its packages have a lot of options enabled and the base installation still contains a lot of unnecessary stuff (compared to Alpine Linux or Gentoo)

audio is muted by default. have you tried unmuting it? on typical Loonix installation, you are "forced" (not really, but there aren't any real alternatives) to use Puke Audio. Install pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa and pavucontrol packages.
