The ArchWiki is the best hand-holding that you're going to get on Linux, it's the finest system administration documentation that the OS has available. But Arch doesn't "do things for you automatically", that's not their ethos. So it's hard mode until you've developed enough sysadmin skills to understand what the docs are telling you, and then it's easy mode because it all works great together and you've a phenomenal reference source.

We run SUSE at work; and when SUSE is working, it's a damn fine Linux - secure by default, up-to-date, efficient. But if it stops working, man alive, I wish we were using Arch instead. (Admittedly, we just redeploy anything on SUSE that stops working, which takes moments, whereas fixing Arch takes a while but at least you can fix it.)
