Arch and its variants(CachyOS, EndeavourOS, and Manjaro) are just "difficult" insofar as they usually need you to understand the basics of using the terminal, and how to look up documentation as needed.
With CachyOS, I haven't played much with the others so I can't speak for them, you could get away with using the GUI tools shipped by default for a long time and not have any problems.
If it works for you, that's what matters! Difficulty is subjective, too.
