Unless we’re talking SteamOS or similar, then it just sounds like disaster waiting to happen.
Do people get Arch as their first distro and succeed in using it?

Some do. Not many.

EndeavourOS was my first, but not the same as naked Arch I guess

Pfft, amateur. My first was some version of red hat that took me almost a week to download, then I had to compile it, and then load onto, like, eight floppies.

So far arch is my first and only distro. I moved to linux a year ago and decided to just jump in with Arch. I havent had any major issues.

My college roommate told me to wipe my os and install arch not thinking I would do it but I did, and that was 14 years ago. It’s a fun experience but these days I just wanna throw a fedora ublue distro on stuff and use that.
