Is it wise to go for arch to try linux for the first time?
The arch wiki is difficult to use for beginners. Each page is single topic. It is not a guide. Using it daily, it takes at least a month to understand it well enough to "build your own guides". If you want to do that kind of deep dive, jump on in. If not, you'll have a better time using just about any distro other than arch.
BTW. If you do decide to take that route. Don't become one of those miscreants who "uses arch btw" It's a red flag for someone who doesn't know wtf they are talking about.
First time Linux user you mean?
I wouldn't recommend it, unless you can navigate the terminal well. When you install arch, it installs no desktop environment, only the ability to talk to a terminal.
It's technically possible and very doable with some googling, but I wouldn't recommend it.
