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?

NixOS! I can't for the life of me figure this shit out. It just won't click for me but I get the advantages so I wanna use it so bad

I completely agree with this, I want to use it so badly but I think the documentation and other video tutorials aren't explaining it in a way that clicks for me, maybe?

check out the matrix room https://matrix.to/#/#nix:nixos.org. a lot of really smart and helpful people in there.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
