You could try EndeavourOS, it’s based off Arch, so 99% of the Arch wiki can be directly applied to your system, and the installation process is much more normal with a GUI and a selection of Desktop Environment to choose from.
The hardest part with Arch is getting the initial setup working imo, so you can put a few more hours trying to install it (if you’re ready to bear the frustration that might come with it) or pick a distro like EndeavourOS with a GUI installer to get a working system quicker.
It’s not my first distro. Does Ubuntu and Mint over ten years ago count though? They were easier to install than Windows XP.
Why do you want to install Arch?
Seems to be what I want. Highly customizable, stable and widespread user base.

I second EndeavourOS. Installation is dead simple and it’s given me no issues (that weren’t caused by me tinkering) over the last few months.
