“Read the wiki” in response to questions is literally Arch’s explicit community ethos. They used to plainly tell you at the forums that it would be the first response to any question that could be answered by the wiki. (They still may, I don’t currently run Arch)
Almost literally any other distro is a better choice if diving into the wiki isn’t how you want to start things with Linux.
This conversation can only happen by me being the person OP is mocking, BTW.
I agree that you should read the wiki first, but the wiki is a reference, not an answer to all your problems, most wiki entries are solutions that came from people on forums asking questions.
Don’t even get me started on clowns who will tell you to rtfm, then when a solution does come out, nobody documents it, AT ALL. Nothing but a bunch of gatekeeping freeloaders.
Well, it’s unfortunate that you skipped the first part of my comment, (and also the advice about choosing literally almost any other distro to avoid that) but don’t let that dampen your oddly deep hostility.
Do what? I didn’t skip over anything, and how am I being hostile? I’m not only agreeing with you but even adding to your points, I didn’t even comment on choosing another distro, I even mentioned in another post that you shouldn’t even choose an engaging distro to start with!
I’m sorry I came off that way, that was not at all my intention. We are on the same side, please don’t think I was trying to attack you.

Arch wiki is just that good. It does lack in some areas but it is that good.

Ah I apologize I must have misread your comment from start to finish! I will go back and reread it.
Sorry, a little too easy to go off half cocked in these conversations sometimes, I sincerely apologize.
