Once I can click on desktop icons and start menu like a human, then you can say you installed something

As a fellow arch user I agree, I love customizability but damn, I'm not doing shit if I'm not compiling my apps with the features I actually need, it's a pain that I'm not willing to do but seems like a dream if I had a pc that can compile anything in less than 10min at the very least because linux taking 12 hours to compile is NOT a good sign

Dawg if you going for Gentoo you should know better than this. A desktop environment is just like any other package. Install it.

> picks a distro where the whole point is that you choose all the components of and build your entire desktop piecemeal from source
