I'm a complete computer novice, with only a few classes and a book called 'How Computers Really Work' by Matthew Justice under my belt. I have a basic understanding of C and Lua and aim to master them after delving into assembly, although I struggle to stay motivated without a strong reason to learn. A friend suggested switching to Arch Linux to challenge myself and force me to learn more. Is this a wise choice for someone with my level of knowledge?

Installing Arch Linux can definitely teach you a lot. Setting it up manually will give you valuable insight into how Linux works. The Arch wiki is a fantastic resource and even helps users of other distributions. You might find it challenging, but think of it as a hands-on learning experience!
I'm using Linux Mint right now and considering a switch to Arch. Is the transition hard? I like i3, but I feel like I need to learn more actively instead of asking AI questions.
