For anyone reading more: Archlinux is a barebones distribution of Linux, where the user is expected to know what is doing and wanting to learn. And for those who want to build “from scratch” (not literally, you know what I mean) their own distribution basically.
However I think there is a little bit confusion about this topic. Because there are full fledged distributions that use Archlinux as their base. Many people say they use Arch, even tho they use a derivative distribution of Archlinux (which in itself is not entirely wrong, depending on the view). And they recommend Arch for beginners, because their experience is “easy”. Therefore it is immensely important to make this distinction clear.
Anyone starting out with Linux and wanting to use Archlinux, I recommend instead to use a ready to go distribution. And if the end goal is Arch, then at least start with something like EndeavourOS and then later start over with Archlinux. And if not, there are better first time distributions, unless you really want get into the details of an operating system and Linux and terminal commands. In that case, go for it, go for Arch.
