From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arch already just works, Majaro breaks more (at least for the one month I tried it while getting into Linux).
Arch includes the setup process (not just installing the OS, but like adding literally every piece of software), which is super not noob friendly.
New users should just use an installer and get ready-to-use system. Manjaro, Fedora, Mint do exactly that. Arch does not.
Also, Arch may break in very unpredictable ways due to the way the updates work. You're essentially always in a beta - price of a very bleeding edge.
I had a better experience with Manjaro, and generally the advice for Manjaro users goes as "do not abuse AUR, and you'll be fine".
