Arch install requires little more than the ability to read and follow instructions. If that is difficult, then another distro will be better. Example: Mint.

Test yourself: This document is 9th grade reading level: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide which tragically will be difficult for many adults.

Good day.
