Yea that makes sense. I’ve been curious about Arch given how many resources there are for learning it. Weirdly enough I know two people who have tried it, one said it was the easiest setup they’ve ever done and the other said it bricked their laptop.
it can get resource hungry but nothing even close to windows.
But as others said: Try another distro if you like to try new things - otherwise just use what works for you.

If you want to try arch I recommend EndeavourOS. It’s as close as you can get to vanilla arch without doing all the compiling yourself.
unless you want to go the hard way at least once just for the learning experience
Go with a vm first, or use a spare laptop just. Don’t go nuking your primary machine.
I do like making life too difficult only to regret it later and end up doing what everyone suggested anyway
are you me?
what I don’t regret is what I learned along the way
Ya sometimes you only get the interesting details by jumping in the deep end
bricking a laptop with linux is incredibly unlikely.
Making the system unbootable so you need to boot from USB to fix it otoh… not so much.
