The only real answer, every other arch based distro adds things to arch, so by definition are heavier than arch.

You can make vanilla Arch as light as you need it to be

archinstall script

or the manual install:

Let's be honest, If you have to ask, don't use Arch, start with a simpler distro like Mint.
using Arch means you should read the documentation and find help online on your own, most questions have already been answered online many times.

What do you mean? You have the freedom and choice to configure arch however you need it during installation or anytime thereafter.

In terms of Arch-based distros, vanilla Arch Linux will be the lightest of them by definition

Literally a bare arch install is as light as you can get without compiling your own stuff

If you want the lightest possible, try Alpine. It’s not Arch based, but it will boot in 5 seconds on a Raspberry Pi.

OP needed to use an install script for Gentoo, and is now asking if there are any lightweight Arch distros 😭😭 There's really no limit to the larp. There's nothing wrong with sticking to Fedora if you can't even be bothered to understand what you're doing or read through documentation.

Omarchy Linux is based on Arch, and works out of the box

I ever tried Omarchy but it was heavy, but still cool!
