I can navigate Windows well enough for my job, but I’d never choose it for personal use. I’m no Linux expert, but I haven’t yet been faced with a problem I couldn’t solve.
I think your problem is you are using a niche Arch derivative that has a small user base. You should definitely consider using more mainstream distros so you can easily find the help you need until you are comfortable and feel confident with using Linux.
I’d use a mainstream distro. I came to Linux in 2017, used Ubuntu for 4 years until I got tired of them forcing snaps down my throat, and then went to Arch. I have never distro-hopped, but I also have never had any huge issues with the mainstream distros.
The main distros really are well maintained and do tend to “just work”. Dare I say, especially Ubuntu.
I was taught to use Ubuntu Linux by a middle aged engineer in another field who demanded “the brown operating system” on his computer over a decade ago, so yes, I agree, day to day Linux hasn’t been hard for over a decade.

I’m the exact opposite! Use Windows for personal use, and use Linux for my VMs/Servers/Docker.
