Which Linux distro meets the following criteria?:
1) No systemd bloatnet
2) No binary blobs
3) Very minimal (eg. no DEs)
4) Doesn't take hours to install
Some of the BSDs meet this criteria but on Linux it seems like you can't have all 4. Why?

Most Linux users now use a bit of GUI, as much as they'd use the terminal. I have no idea about binary blobs, and any power user would compile their stuff, including OS, since it is quite big.
BDS is limited in software, and that's why it can meet all of these criteria.
Look for what are the most important out of these four.

Gentoo unless you are a noob and can’t even install it in 45 minutes and my first install still works to this day...
Thanks, I'll give it a go.

minimal netinstal enterprise distros; arch/gentoo with nothing pulled

not considering internet speeds, most linux (gui and/or cli installers) is next;next;next;install;next;finish

GuixSD
Hyperbola

Is this distro still maintained? Searching gives a lot of weird posts about the site being changed because someone abandoned the project or something.
Mac Os
>2) No binary blobs
Second GuixSD. Takes a bit of getting used to but honestly one of the comfiest distros I've ever used.
Ubuntu 18.04 tbqh.
Just use it, it's good

This. Takes under 10 minutes to install, and you have the option of installing it without X.
