Is CachyOS suitable for a new Linux user? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I am a long term Arch user. I consider to recommend CachyOS to a friend with very limited technical knowledge. I read CachyOS is suitable for Linux beginners. But since it is based on Arch, doesn't that mean manual user intervention is sometimes necessary like it is in Arch? If it is, I don't think it is suitable for a noob user.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I could not find anything about manual intervention or about checking Arch news before updating in the Cachy wiki or anywhere else.

If you want to start them on linux, it's probably best to go with Mint, but some beginner friendly Arch OS are Manjaro and EndeavourOS. A true beginner linux OS needs to be common and easily searched for troubleshooting purposes

Is EneavourOS beginner friendly? Doesn't it have the same problem with manual interventions than Arch?

It has a better installer and out-of-the-box experience compared to Arch, but after that, they're more or less the same. I'd only recommend it if the intended user is willing and able to learn how to maintain the system.

Yes, that is also my understanding. Thanks!
