Arch is not dumb shit and recommending it to beginners is fine if they are curious and want to learn about stuff.

Recommending Arch to people who just want a working machine is silly, and stuff like Gentoo is kind of dumb shit.

But if you want a simple "it just works" distro you should probably be using Mint or Pop! or similar, and avoiding trying to do anything unnecessarily advanced unless you are cool with reading manuals and so on.
