  1. They only break if you dont update or you do something dumb

Stop capping. I used to use Arch, it's not nearly as stable as you are suggesting.

  1. Its easy to find packages on the avalible repos including the aur. No searching for ppas to install the packages you need to actaully switch off of windows.

If you really want applications then use NixOS, not arch. That way you aren't dealing with the AUR, and Nix OS actually has more packages than the AUR.

Recommending NixOS to new users would be dumb though. Just like recommending arch is dumb. The install process alone would put lots of people off Linux.

I've not had an issue with arch yet besies once like 4 years ago when I rebooted during a Nvidia driver update which was my own fault.

The goal is to introduce new Linux users both to the possible options and to proper documentation so that they can learn and help themselves.

Honestly, I wish I had started on arch instead of Ubuntu.

Okay you are not a normal user or person. There isn't anything wrong with that. Giving people advice based on your own experience isn't going to work for you, because most people aren't that technically inclined and don't think about going for the harder option first.
