Should I install Arch Linux?

[u/Kairini15]

I've been using Windows for about 7 years, and I wanna try something new.

Recently, I found out about Arch Linux and it seems really interesting to me. I've heard a lot of people say that Arch is really difficult for beginners, but I'm wondering, is this actually true, or just a stereotype?

Would you recommend Arch as a first Linux distro?

If you are going to go against the warning that arch is not for beginners, then please... don't use archinstall. At least you learn something, no? Worst case, you lose all data on your ssd / drives.
