I disagree with dakota, Arch is not hard to install and maintain, it becomes hard if you want it to, simple as that.
Compare Arch installation on 2x ext4 partitions + swap to btrfs for root + subvols mount points for /opt, /usr/local, /var/opt and so on + xfs home on lvm with cachepool on ssd, and let's put there LUKS to make things harder. Ok, now someone could have hard times installing it, but base install + DE that just works is easy.
