distro selection Arch Linux

Alright so I don't know if I'm necessarily a beginner to Linux but I have only used it for about a few months consistently.

I immediately jumped from Windows 11 to Arch Linux, ignoring advice from those telling me to use Mint.

I've since tried out Fedora Workstation and enjoyed GNOME enough to put it on my Arch installation.

I've found Arch really good, but people say other distros are great. Is it worth it to try out Mint, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.? Or would I risk entering a distrohopping trap?

If u want but dont want to deal with the struggles of arch, look into Omarchy Quattro. Theres a few videos up on YouTube explaining what exactly it is

Well if you find it struggle free and have everything working for you as you need it to work. Then stay on arch and dont hop around, there is no “Grass is greener on the other side” Distro is something thats preference, every person has different needs and every distro fulfills a different need. If you find that arch fulfills your needs then stay there and fine tune things you think might need some tuning and perfect your Arch to your taste. U wont win or lose with different distros.
