Then Arch is kind of a terrible choice for you. I use it (btw), but I’ve been using linux since 2008.
The learning curve and constant need to troubleshoot things isn’t great for beginners.
EDIT: can someone explain why I’m getting downvoted? Isn’t this common knowledge that Mint and other begginner-friendly distros that don’t have complicated package managers and require less configuration and maintenance are better for someone who’s just starting with Linux?
I myself began with Ubuntu back in '08 but nowadays use both Arch and Mint.
That’s one of the reasons I chose arch. Because of the difficulty i can’t take shortcuts or be lazy and have to actually learn. When I tried something like Pop_OS I definitely enjoyed it but didn’t really learn anything because it was all done for me.

Well then that’s a great approach and more power to you. Enjoy Linux!
What are y’all doing that you need to troubleshoot constantly? My experience with arch is about the same as my experience with Debian.
I had way more struggle and frustration using mint/ubuntu than arch/endevourOS/openSuse TW
🤷🏻♀️
Using old kernel and mix of flatpak/repo/snap etc. Is just unpredictable, what happens and why. At least for me.
I love, how in arch anything is verbose! Main reason I love linux and Arch especially.
