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.

I'd suggest you give this article a read. If this does sound appealing to you, go right ahead. If you think you'd be frustrated with having to make all these changes, Arch likely isn't something for you.

This is just not true at all. This level of configuration is in no way required for having a good usable system. Things are as hard as they are plus how hard you make them.
