When I say arch I mean the arch distro and all of its offspring.

Endeavouros

Arch-gui

Manjaro

Artix --maybe not though

My first enjoyable distro was manjaro, the manjaro element less so but using arch clicked for me. But even so if my first experience was using arch and archinstall then yes its not the easiest but its also not that difficult, arch is treated like a boss battle in darksouls.

So when a pre configured GUI arch is recommend I would like to see less scar mongering.

    While a linux beginner who’s been developing apps in proprietary microsoft systems for 20 years might be looking for an OS that’s easy to manage from CLI.

      Yes. Then the newb is typically happy to learn the Arch ways. Showing that “arch bad for new users” is a bad choice of words.
