I've never used Arch. Honestly I haven't used linux a ton. I've had Ubuntu and Mint on and off. I'm re -setting up my PC for a linux OS. Any reason a plagued windows user would choose Arch or Mint?
Edit: also want to hijack this post for linux talk ;)
Use whatever distro you're comfortable with, unless it lacks the features you need. I prefer Ubuntu MATE, but I use Arch because the official and user repositories generally have the newest versions of everything and I don't have to mess with PPAs.
I agree with this. Also, vast majority of distros come with an option for live environment from the install media which makes it super easy to test drive a few flavors before picking. I bought like 8 cheap 16GB usb drives and then made a not-so-short list of distributions that people were talking highly of. Boot up each one, tinker around for an hour or so, see what it comes with, how easy it is to get the desktop environment the way I like it, what hardware it sees and uses automatically, etc. I landed on Garuda for now, it's new and exciting but not so scary unfamiliar. I've tried Mint, Manjaro, Kubuntu, Zorin, Drauger, Pop!, and Debian. I wasn't a fan of Pop! personally, but honestly found a way to like all the rest pretty comfortably.
