Agreed, I run arch on my desktop and laptop, because it is more stable (in the sense of fewer bugs, things like suspend/resume works reliably for example) than any other distro I have used.
But on my VPS and my Pi I run Debian because it is more stable (in the sense of fewer upgrades that could break things). I can enable unattended upgrades there, which I would never do on my Arch system (though it is incredibly rare for those to break).
Also: if someone said they were a (self proclaimed) "semi noob" I would not recommend Arch. I have used Linux since 2002, and as my main OS since 2006. (Furthermore I'm a software developer in C/C++/Rust.) While Arch is a great distro, don't start with Arch.
