Nice! Arch's wiki is pretty much the best of all the distros and it can be referenced for a lot of other distros since they usually only differ in package management.

Arch used to have a Beginners Guide which was the long form of the current Installation Guide, IDK why they removed it, maybe they felt it was redundant.

I love Arch, because, just as you said, it forces you to learn Linux and get comfortable with the inner workings of Linux instead of being like "Click a few buttons to get it installed, and now you have a GUI. Have fun." I had used Ubuntu for like a year or two before I found Arch, I had learned a bit by then (I jumped in head first and learned how to recompile the kernel within a few months of using Linux lol) but still didn't know much. Doing a few Arch installs and horribly breaking them taught me a lot. Also the installation was more complex about ten years ago, so there's that.

There's definitely a lot of jargon in the Linux world, and some of the things are archaic, but you'll get used to it eventually!
