For a more beginner-friendly approach to Arch, try Manjaro. The user experience is much better: you can choose one out of several desktop environments and get sane defaults, has its own system that can easily swap between different drivers and kernels, and generally very robust overall. Also the forums are more friendly towards beginners, so I view it as Arch without the elitism. The package updates are usually several weeks behind from Arch (since it uses a curated snapshot of Arch), but I view this as a plus (in reality you don’t need that much bleeding-edge updates).
