This is unrelated but what's the appeal toward immutable distros to you?
I don't mean this in a hostile way I'm genuinely curious to know. I usually consider the ability to change anything about Linux as quite a big selling point so these distros seem kinda counterproductive to me.
get the magnet link (on 1337x click the torrents thing then the last, green, button) and open it on qBittorrent
wait for it to finish downloading
stay seeding at least until you get a >=2 share ratio or for some time (optional but very appreciated)
That's it, that's all you need to pirate a movie or a series, it's so easy a moron could do it blindfolded while juggling balls on one hand and giving a foot job to George W Bush
Please no. First of all Arch-based distros (or rolling releases in general) shouldn't be recommended to newbies at all, secondly if you really have to use Arch (you almost certainly don't but suit yourself) go for a good distro like Endeavour OS or Garuda Linux, or just install arch itself (there's archinstall if you are afraid of using Arch the way it's supposed to be used).
I say this as someone who uses Arch (btw) or rather Endeavour OS. It is a nice and mostly smooth experience granted but you will eventually run into issues or packages that are not in the official repos and you will need to put up with it. Arch distros should be viewed as tinkerer distros not newbie distros (unless the newbie wants to tinker and put up with it, of course).
Strap Linux Mint, Pop_OS!, or your favourite Linux distro on your PC (I personally tend to recommend Linux Mint, it automatically installs the nuveau open source Nvidia drivers but will prompt you to choose which Nvidia drivers you want in the post-installation menu). For media piracy you're good to go, for gaming, honestly I'd rather recommend just using steam whenever you can but if you have to pirate a game see if you can find it for linux first, otherwise go for Lutris/Wine or a virtual machine, worst case scenario you can do a dual boot with a windows copy but honestly if you don't want any hassle just stick with Linux and games running on it.
While I agree that overall it can be a smooth experience I'd say for the majority of people who are just coming to Linux I woukd rather recommend Linux Mint. Especially when someone doesn't know what they're doing at all yet.
Arch and its derivatives are cool dor tinkerers but realistically speaking if you're looking for stuff that works out of the box without hassle it's much much better to stick to distros like Linux Mint, Fedora, Pop_OS!, and similiar. Need the latest stuff? Flatpack or Fedora should be good, or Debian sid if you want a rolling release (tho realistically you won't really need a rolling release over semi-rolling if you're still a noob). Sure the AUR is cool but it's a bit overrated in the sense that unless you're actively looking for stuff on it 99% of the time you're using it because something isn't in the official repos and that's not good, while distros like Linux Mint have large repos with pretty much everything you need already without a real need for the AUR.
