>Do you use Gentoo? It sounds like more work

I've never installed Arch, and my "use" of it was limited to Docker images that had that as their base.
Installing gentoo is a multi-day chore the first several times. But day to day administration, including adding new software, is quite straightforward and the system is fairly robust, though I recommend disabling SystemD's monster, though doing so still pulls in a few pieces of it unless you go out of your way to install, say, libudev-zero instead of the siphoned-off dynamic /dev routines that come with the stock repositories.

Also my raid card keeps disabling the array so my "current" install of Gentoo is fried until I get enough money to replace the hardware-raid-fifty PCIe card.
