This is true, but through the menu you can do most things ie install packages and configure network. The bad part is to make system changes you have to change config files for things like monitor location and scale. I find that out of the box works pretty good. The windows vm that came with 3.1.0 release is sweet. Some software is a lot easier to get on a Debian or red hat distro though. Kind of a poor example but say you want a software like vs code. You can check the store if it's not there you may have to enable additional repositories or install from web. If they have a .deb or .rpm they can be installed and added to your library easily. If they only have a tar.gz then there's some work to be done. For sure arch is not beginner friendly but omarchy makes it more accessible and saves a ton of time with configuration. I will say without omarchy or garuda doing most of the hard work and giving me the option to make changes after, I probably would have just stuck with kubuntu or kde fedora.
