I refuse to accept that. The ArchWiki is super well documented, so there should be no issues for newbies!

Yes, the arch wiki is very good and useful. The issue is, that you need the wiki in the first place. In a user-friendly distro everything would either work OOTB, or it could be done intuitively via GUI.

how far can you get in arch without opening the terminal?

Uhhh, how long was the first boot time?

I use the Garuda fork of Arch, so it is literally all done with a GUI....

also any beginner-friendly distro should be popular enough for the beginner to find it in the first place.

(big exception: if it came pre-installed on their device)

Same. Use dragonized on desktop gaming PC and a laptop. Love it.

Way cooler than adjusting everything in CLI.
