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 use a Logitech M510 and it worked perfectly right off the bat. Bluetooth on Linux kinda sucks and wireless headphones took me a good 30 minutes to fix and they worked 90% of the time afterwards and game controllers keep breaking on me. Are you having any issues or are you just worried?

I use an MMO mouse that seems to require the installation of a (admittedly pretty crappy) proprietary software to work on 2.4GHz mode, so that's the big one. I also have use a DS4 for some games. That's 90% of it.

Mouse software over wine can be a bit of a pain. Try it but know it might be a hassle.
