I used Gentoo for gaming for 2 straight years. I'm not a complete newbie. I'm still not going to recommend Arch or Gentoo for anyone's first distro.
There's a reason most distros come with a set of reasonable defaults. It's so that you're not left wondering "how the fuck do I get wifi working from the command line?" before you're ready to tackle this issue.
Most people also want their computers to just work. They don't want to fiddle around with it to get it just right.
