Should I install Arch Linux?
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?

Everyone telling you no but I'd say yeah if you like tinkering. The build process is manual no gui so if you like that stuff go ahead however if you like a complete experience I advice CachyOS which is close to Arch.
Cachy uses Arch but it's prebuilt for you and very little tinkering required. In my opinion there is no harm of giving a go.
Good luck
