I am a long term Arch user. I consider to recommend CachyOS to a friend with very limited technical knowledge. I read CachyOS is suitable for Linux beginners. But since it is based on Arch, doesn't that mean manual user intervention is sometimes necessary like it is in Arch? If it is, I don't think it is suitable for a noob user.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I could not find anything about manual intervention or about checking Arch news before updating in the Cachy wiki or anywhere else.

I honestly don't see why not. It has an installer just like any other distro and you don't really need to do many things after install. Maybe install Bauh or Octopi for them as a software store? That's about it
