    Nah, there’s a bunch of people (even on Lemmy) that recommend Arch or Arch-derived distributions to newbies. Many mention they haven’t used any other distro themselves.

      They would still have to go through that ridiculous install following the Wiki, so I think that they are be pretty well educated on updates.

        Depends. There’s also the included archinstall script, which skips all of that. Just some minimal configuration you find on most distros (Language/Time Zones/Mirrors…) and that’s it.

        So yeah, nowadays it’s totally possible to end up with a working Arch installation without knowing anything about it besides that one command.
