Does arch have something like Software in their gnome 3? My SO isn't as into tech stuff and I wanted it to be easier for them to install stuff without having to google or know apt/emerge/pacman

Yes, it is possible to use package management GUIs in Arch. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#...

Yeah, there's front-ends for pacman. They're usually ... okay. The only issue is that you usually need to install stuff from the AUR (which won't ever get updated by default unless your GUI supports yaourt).
