The best one I've ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn't be compatible.

Once you get arch going it's super easy with very few issues and just about zero lag and bugs. I've been using Linux since 08 and I almost forgot how to install Linux because I've been on the same arch install for the last few years and I quit trying to get other people on Linux because I'm tired of sounding like an evangelist and tired of people's stupid excuses.

I guess I'm jaded.
