honestly, I've had arch on all my machines for 5y now. the install was simple, as long as you followed instructions to the letter.
the rolling release is beautiful. i never ever have to go through the install again

Manjaro was my "throwing into the water"-distro and it worked very well getting me swimming. YMMV.
For some reason archinstall never worked for me. EndeavourOS is a joy to use. (i know it's a separate distro but besides branding and installing, there's no difference at all)

well it is simple, but you also gotta be competent as per the wiki :P
Arch is simple, but not easy.
Other distros might be easy, but not simple
I mean, have you seen archinstall? its pretty easy and straightforward. Unless you have a phobia against terminal screens.
At this point it's easier / more comfortable than a windows install. No waiting between steps, no unnecessary options, easier disk layouts.
And you get a pacman!
