As a capable but lazy user, how much would switching to Arch frustrate me? (lemmy.ml)

I know my way around a command line. I work in IT, but when it comes to my personal fun time more often than not I'm quite lazy. I use windows a lot because just plugging in anything or installing any game and it just working is great.

But support for windows 10 is ending and I should probably switch sonner rather than later, so I'm wondering if Arch would be a good pick for me? For reference, I mostly game and do Godot stuff in my free time.

If you want minimal maintence avoid window managers and go for desktop environments. Installing KDe or Gnome you shouldn't have any problems

This is the exact hole that had me quit Gentoo so many times over the years. When I stopped trying to be cool and just set my system up with KDE it finally stuck and I've been happily using it ever since.

Once you're past setup and understand package management, what is a distro but a desktop environment, after all?
