This was somewhat true 15 to 10 years ago. It wasn't true for a while. There is however endless amount of discussions about the way to make it just the way you like it and because a lot of that is subjective, those will get heated. However if you want it to just work, that is pretty easy to arrange.
My wife is a linguist and an English teacher, about as far from being a tech person as you can get. She's running Arch daily since 2020, and the only help she needed from me was to set it up and to teach how to install and update apps. The amount of tech support that was required of me almost daily when she was running Windows can't even be compared.
