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.

I use cachyos myself and I would suggest Zorin for an absolute beginner: https://zorin.com/os/

(I have installed it on 2 family members laptops without issue)

He wants this computer mostly for gaming and education. Zorin might not be ideal for gaming because it is based on stable Ubuntu and therefor not as up to date, if I am not mistaken.
