it can get resource hungry but nothing even close to windows.
But as others said: Try another distro if you like to try new things - otherwise just use what works for you.
Yea that makes sense. I've been curious about Arch given how many resources there are for learning it. Weirdly enough I know two people who have tried it, one said it was the easiest setup they've ever done and the other said it bricked their laptop.
If you want to try arch I recommend EndeavourOS. Itβs as close as you can get to vanilla arch without doing all the compiling yourself.
bricking a laptop with linux is incredibly unlikely.
Making the system unbootable so you need to boot from USB to fix it otoh... not so much.
