Allero , 1 month ago Arch includes the setup process (not just installing the OS, but like adding literally every piece of software), which is super not noob friendly. New users should just use an installer and get ready-to-use system. Manjaro, Fedora, Mint do exactly that. Arch does not. Also, Arch may break in very unpredictable ways due to the way the updates work. You're essentially always in a beta - price of a very bleeding edge. I had a better experience with Manjaro, and generally the advice for Manjaro users goes as "do not abuse AUR, and you'll be fine".
