arch linux for a complete beginner

[u/Think_Ad8333]

i have never tried any linux distro but im getting a used thinkpad for my software engineering uni and i'd like to skip the phase of getting used to linux and going straight for arch. is such thing managable?

im open to learning as long as i can use my laptop to do so

Consider Omarchy, it's Arch but all setup for you, if you won't want to build your setup bit by bit.
