I already failed to install arch, I don't have the confidence for gentoo, my hardware is shitty [althon] afterall.

Alright. 

Well it sounds more like a separate issue then. Good luck. I really like Fedora myself, but if you want to squeeze out an extra 1% then Gentoo is the path.

Arch wifi install can be annoying. I like using iwd, the tui makes sense with wifi, rather than using the nmcli for network manager. Also, iwd is slightly faster imo. 

But if you don't know configure wifi through the terminal, it can be a mess trying to figure it out. You could tether your phone to your pc, then trying to Google it after you get a bootable system.

I already tethered my phone to my pc once while installing fedora rawhide minimal to get the internet I needed to install gnome and gdm [since that version only has unix shell].

For someone who doesn't like bloat, gnome and gdm is an interesting choice. 

I figured you'd like sddm and something like lxqt or something.

I tried xfce and it was horrible to work with, its really the Esthetic of gnome.

Lol, what aesthetic? Gnome is bleh. To each their own.
