There's a learning curve if you're coming from a Debian-based distro like Ubuntu or, obviously, Debian, Mint, etc...
Before you download the ISO I'd obviously recommend the "Beginner's Guide" at their official website. (Google: arch linux)

Architecture
If a program needs to specify an architecture specification string in some place, it should select one of the strings provided by dpkg-
architecture -L. The strings are in the format os-arch, though the OS part is sometimes elided, as when the OS is Linux. A package may
specify an architecture wildcard. Architecture wildcards are in the format any (which matches every architecture), os-any, or any-cpu. For
more details, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s-arch-specMandatory. Type string.
Multi-Arch
This field is used to indicate how this package should behave on a multi-arch installations. This field should not be present in packages
with the Architecture: all field.Optional. Type enum. choice: 'same', 'foreign', 'allowed'.
Here are some explanations on the possible values:
'allowed'
allows reverse-dependencies to indicate in their Depends field that they need a package from a foreign architecture, but has no effect
otherwise.
'foreign'
the package is not co-installable with itself, but should be allowed to satisfy the dependency of a package of a different arch from
itself.
'same'
the package is co-installable with itself, but it must not be used to satisfy the dependency of any package of a different architecture
from itself.
