    multiple people warned them not to use arch.

    My IT Bros said the same back when I had to choose W10 or Linux, they haven’t used arch and I had 0 Linux experience. I messed up every single step of the installation to a point where I knew from the problems I created what I did wrong. After many tries and a week later I had a working installation with dual boot. Never used windows and removed it a year later. It was rough but I learned how to recover from most errors a user can create.

    If learning is the goal arch and arch-wiki is great.

      That’s right. It’s a great recommendation for learning about Linux.

      For anyone who needs something that just works, there’s a lot better options.

          Probably. I haven’t tried that, but I should.

          The learning curve there might be too challenging if not familiar with certain concepts beforehand…

          It’s not that hard to achieve a working system with Arch, so not bad as a Linux 101.
