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.

What’s so funny? Like I said, I’m new to Linux.

Well then that’s a great approach and more power to you. Enjoy Linux!
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.
