Arch questions an Ricing

My first Linux experience was with the SteamDeck, I loved how lightweight it was and the KDE look. Then was thoroughly introduced to he Terminal with RPI OS, RPI OS Lite, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu OS lite, through setting up and upgrading my Homeserver.

I've now bought a ThinkPad T430 to be a secondary PC and I'm itching to install Linux on it. I'm primarily looking at Arch. 1. Because I want to stick a big ol' Arch logo on my ThinkPad, 2, I get to say (I use Arch Btw), 3, I can't leave anything uncustomized.

But idk how Arch holds up as a usable OS and how daunting it actually is to use.
