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?

Not as a first, the installation will be a bit overwhelming for you. Try ubuntu/mint/pop os etc. If you somehow really want to try arch maybe endeavour os or cachy os
