It was fun for me to switch. I had the same mentality as you had, I could've waited until windows 10 support ended to switch to Linux, but I decided to switch a few years ago and now I have years of experience.
You'll definitely need to get used to hunting down that one single package you need to get the programs you want working. I find it nice to dedicate an evening to getting something working, and that's fun for me. For example, I took an evening to get thumbnails working in "file Explorer" (it requires ffmpeg btw). You can be lazy with Arch, but it will take time to get it perfect. The problem with arch is you can make it to your standards. If you have low standards, you can get away with a lot.
