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 don't mind being the sysadmin of my own machine (I prefer it, in fact). It's just that I don't want to spend free time troubleshooting some obscure problem specific to my build because I chose an ASUS motherboard and I don't have drivers for my wireless headset or something. At least not when I'd rather unwind playing a game.
