Anyone who is just starting out with Linux and doesn't want to put in a lot of effort should definitely choose Mint over Arch. If you really want to learn the ins and outs, Arch is great. If you just want a usable computer, Mint is your daddy.

Anyone who suggests Arch as the starter Linux distro is absolutely delusional and has probably never spoken to or interacted with the average person.

They're the kind of people who write "Git gud, n00b!" in Linux forums.

I also won't recommend someone to use Arch as their first Distros. You will not have a great time. You need to learn how to use the terminal first.
