This is so true and my experience completely checks out with it. I started trying out Linux with the usual Ubuntu / Linux Mint distros, but I got so confused by the lack of structure and understanding of what is the correct way to do things - aka what I wanted to understand with Linux, for personal knowledge. I moved to arch, and ease of use came free: everything you'll ever need is basically on the wiki, no weird PPA to add, nothing on sketchy tutorial sites - just the wiki. Definitely suggested for beginners (yeah the installation can be a pain but it's minimal compared to the advantages)
