I, too learned how to Linux with Gentoo ~20 years ago, and while that semi-from-scratch approach still appeals to me, Arch 2019 is not Gentoo 2002.
I find myself doing an Arch install once a year or so, and I'd say it takes about 20 minutes to get to my prefered desktop from completely un-initialized hardware - I remember Gentoo taking days!
