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 it’s not as bad as it’s used to, it certainly can never beat Ubuntu & Linux Mint regarding user-friendliness.
Do keep in mind that most people might be way less tech savy than us. Even in this platform.
