please do not suggest that manajaro is arch ready to use arch. manjaro is just bad. if you want easier to install arch go endeavour os or cachy or some other arch plus gui installer. https://manjarno.pages.dev/
I, personally, think Omarchy is the best "easier to install Arch" out there - you can hand out a flashdrive to anyone with at least the most basic IT-knowledge and they would get a working, useable and upgradeable system within ~20 minutes.
Why would anyone who wants something easy to install go with Arch? You're not the target audience! Just install Fedora or Debian!
Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Suse... in the end, it doesn't matter. If you (you as in "newbie Linux user") find a distro that captures your attention that is all that matters. For me - personally - it was some Slackware based distribution that hooked me back in the 90s....
