I grew tired of shitty “Top 10 Linux distros in ${CURRENT_YEAR}” articles so I wrote a blogpost, that I would personally consider helpful when I was starting out, so I can simply link it to people when they ask my opinion on a beginner distro.
Objective criticism is welcome and encouraged.
I said some points about why Arch is good, but also difficult for beginners so I listed two of its forks and said a sentence or two about them.
On an unrelated note, strawberry is a bad choice of fruit to describe Arch distros, since they are usually in shades of blue.
