      “I use Arch BTW” is a meme in the Linux community. It reflects the perceived urge of Arch users to boast about using it.

      Welcome to Linux :)

      Then Arch is kind of a terrible choice for you. I use it (btw), but I’ve been using linux since 2008.

      The learning curve and constant need to troubleshoot things isn’t great for beginners.

      EDIT: can someone explain why I’m getting downvoted? Isn’t this common knowledge that Mint and other begginner-friendly distros that don’t have complicated package managers and require less configuration and maintenance are better for someone who’s just starting with Linux?

      I myself began with Ubuntu back in '08 but nowadays use both Arch and Mint.

        That’s one of the reasons I chose arch. Because of the difficulty i can’t take shortcuts or be lazy and have to actually learn. When I tried something like Pop_OS I definitely enjoyed it but didn’t really learn anything because it was all done for me.
