One of the biggest problems with getting new linux users is picking the right distro. And for a new user to pick Arch as their first, could scare them off linux forever.
What would make a newbie decide that out of all the vastly easier distributions out there, Arch would be the best choice?
I love Gentoo, but I wouldn't recommend that to a new user either.
Why not Mint or Ubuntu??
