Arch is bleeding edge, first to get new packages, constantly rolling, requires management to keep running efficiently, and often experiences bugs (and patches) before they had a chance to reach the 'Buntus, Debians and Mints of the world.
EOS definitely isn’t for luddite oriented Linux noobs; Arch / EOS is not set and forget and definitely not idiot proof.
Sure, the install is easy and it works great; until it doesn’t.
Brand spanking new kernels always contain regressions, and often break other stuff until patched by an early point release (ie nvidia drivers, virtualbox, btrfs, etc).
Not having the basic knowledge to troubleshoot and fix relatively simple stuff like this will doom the Linux noob, and potentially turn them off Linux entirely.
If the problem is with the current package base then their goto fix of re-installing won’t work either. Find a workaround and wait for a patch is often what is required.
On the other hand, those familiar with tech but unfamiliar with Linux and willing to learn … EOS is the perfect distro. Supportive community and a ton of learning material in the Arch Wiki.
Perfect building blocks for setting up your own OS, tailored to exactly what you need.
