Arch isn’t as bad as it can seem, especially if you find an installer for it. Something that’s more mainstream linux might be better; though. especially if they’re looking for a “it works” kind of thing.
How likely are you to recommend Arch to a friend or colleague? 1, not likely, to 5, extremely likely.

For Arch users, this question reduces to “how likely are you to have a friend or colleague”
