Arch is great when you're somewhat experienced with Linux. Otherwise I recommend an Arch + QoL distro like EndeavourOS.
I'm a developer using Linux for well over a decade and a half and I use EndeavourOS because it just adds a level of ease.
It's fine though, I know what I signed up for. I used Ubuntu for a year before moving over to Arch and and I quite like it. Everytime I decide to update though, I try to do so when I am not busy during school, and prepare for the worse when I do plan to update.
