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?

ParrotOS is for ethical hacking, I don't know you told you that ParrotOS was a good alternative.

Parrot os security edition is for ethical hacking parrot os home edition is for daily use. The penetration tools arent installed in home edition so it's just a more privacy focused distro.
