Not harder but more annoying and bloated πŸ˜πŸ˜‚, arch is much more like AOSP roms and Ubuntu is like a MiUi which had lots of packages pre-installed. The learning is curve is steep with arch, finding solutions on archwiki and youtube but you'll get used to it. Ubuntu is more Noemie feiendly distroπŸ˜‚ no hate though, Ive been through the phase and anyone wants to progress in linux ecosystem they should try out arch it's pain in the ass in start but when you get used to it you can't go back.

The more I learned using Arch, the less I remember for Ubuntu and was like why didn't I use Arch first?

I think I tried installing Arch more than 6-8 times and it was a pain.

Me too man i've watched a lot of videos on youtube for installing after so many failed attempts I got this time right, and previous manjaro exp help too because of same package managers and other configs.

something i learned is that you need to just read the wiki, Youtube videos are helpful but not complete. The wiki is key.
