Well done. Mint is the gateway drug, perfect for users like you. Progress and attempts with arch are noble though! Glad it didn't scare you off.

It did! I just checked and I put it (arch) on the back burner for four months.

But yes, Mint and similar easy to install distros are the way to go for someone new for sure. Probably don't even need to move on from it ever, as long as it works.
