I started my Linux life with Red Hat Halloween. Back then all Linux distros were a loveable clusterfuck, and an adventure. That's my experience with Arch. It's an adventure.
Fuck that. I am too old and have too much shit to do to be fighting my OS on a daily basis. I always recommend Pop!_OS for NVidia users, LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) for the set it and forget it crowd, and standard Mint or Fedora for everyone else. Fedora more so for the folk interested in working corporate IT because RHEL or one of its clones is almost always what the company servers are running.
