[Random advice from the internet]

Maybe Arch is not an ideal distro for you.

I tried about a dozen different distros over the years before I had enough experience to know what works best for me.

For what it is worth, I think Ubuntu probably offers the easiest transition from Windows.

And using it will still require a substantial learning curve because it is still very much a Linux experience...don't worry you can still break the bootloader and learn Grub. Have to configure your touchpad at a low level. And be baffled by /dev, ~/.config, /usr/bin versus /bin.

Good luck.
