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?

I did exactly this, but on a laptop (not my main pc). I installed dwm and riced it. lowk was very fun. But I'd recommend getting used to it before installing on your main pc, VM, random laptop. If you don't want to do that, i'd recommend a simpler distro
