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.
I once had someone tell me that they use Arch on there server since it is stable. If it works that is fine but don’t go around telling people that Arch is more stable than Ubuntu, Rocky or Debian.
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.

People are nuts

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.

Fine, I’ll install Arch (btw). You can stop trying to convince me now.
