what are some advanced linux distros that don't have me compiling everything?

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?

What do you need that Arch doesn't provide?

OP is probably complaining about AUR packages needing to be compiled most of the time. In that case, use the chaotic AUR. If you don't trust it, then compile the software from the AUR yourself.

Are the AUR helper applications still not well documented these days?

Why would a wrapper around pacman need documentation? Anyways, --help and the Arch Wiki have it too.
