If you can follow directions and only follow from arch wiki…it’s actually much easier than everyone says and pacman is wonderful and super fast…even large updates take mere minutes.
Also, insofar as things “breaking” after updates that’s mostly hyperbole, especially for a casual user.
A real challenge (skill and patience) would be Gentoo! But again, with following directions it’s doable
Arch was my first Linux ever, but I have to say that their installation guide lacks of some stuff.
In terms of how to partition disks and the bootloader part. But you can search for that stuff elsewhere.
Yeah, I always forget, my first ARCH install, didn’t work because of partitioning - but right after, I successfully installed gentoo - their guide to partitioning was thorough, but then went back to ARCH as I am not patient enough to build everything.

P.D: Agreed that the best way is the ArchWiki
