I would top off with this advise: don't stress too much about the first distro you pick. It will likely not be the right for you anyway. You don't know what you like yet...
You'll learn a lot about Linux along the way and eventually you know what you like and don't like, therefore choosing the right distro for you at your second attempt.
That being said, I don't recommend Arch Linux for the first timers haha
