That depends on the beginner. We should consider which distribution to recommend depending on the user. Not every Linux newcomer is a typical Windows end user.
Apart from that, in my opinion, the relevant passage in the article is more about distributions that stand out from others. In my opinion, Arch is therefore only an example in this case and not a direct recommendation.
and if IIRC widgets and plasmoids work differently now.

So basically what KDE has done with Plasma 6 onwards. Wayland is standard, but you can still use X11 if required.
An understandable decision. At some point you have to start switching to Wayland.
On Arch Linux, Plasma 6.0.1 was released a few minutes ago in the testing package sources.
I am curious if this version will reach the official repositories or if there are still reasons to delay an official release.
Edit: That went faster than expected. Plasma 6.0.1 has been moved from Testing to Extra.
Earlier, the link to the changelog at https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.0.1/ did not work, but the one I used did. In the meantime, the link at https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.0.1/ works and the one I used does not. I assume that someone from KDE has adjusted the link in the meantime.
I have updated the link accordingly.
