Well, see, the thing is, minimalist distros like Arch or Void are more stable than "fully-featured" distros like ubuntu, just by virtue of having less software that could break. The reason I wouldn't suggest them to newbies is because having less software installed by default means that the user is expected to know what software they need, and to know what program to debug if things do go wrong, which isn't a reasonable thing to expect from someone coming from mac or windows or bsd.
