Arch users, please get off your high horse and chill the fuck out. Stop pushing Arch on any rando you meet.

I'm an Arch user, and believe me when I say: Arch is NOT a desktop distro. It's not a server distro, either. The value of Arch is precisely that: it's a non-specific Linux distribution.

That means that things that are expected in, say, desktop use case may not come out of the box and need to be installed in post, by the user themself.

Most of the supposed advantages of Arch can easily be chalked up to drawbacks, when you want a nice-and-ready desktop OS, just because of Arch's zero-assumption nature.
