    arch is basic. It's just minimalise by default.

    It has an amazing wiki, extremely active and helpful user forums, and an installer (i think now) or at least a massively helpfully customised shell for initial setup.

    you can install arch and make it look like mint or whatever easily, then the only difference is pacman and the amazing AUR

    Lol i hear this alot about arch users and as a newbie i dont get it. It has been the easiest for me to understand, maybe its the documentation idk i started with endavourOS as well which is a great beginner OS for arch IMO

    EndeavourOS isn't pure arch. (I don't mean this in an elitist way. Use whatever is best for you.) Pure arch doesn't come with a desktop, so it sucks for new users.

    I started with an Arch-based distro and haven't looked back (EndeavorOS. Though I guess it's kind of like Arch easy mode). I have a family member that has been daily driving Linux for over a decade, so that was very helpful during the transition. But after a week or two, I haven't needed his help at all.

    My laptop that previously ran Windows 11 is faster than ever.
