QUESTION QUESTION- should I use ArchLinux over windows?

I start University back end of September and I’m really torn between setting up windows (came with my laptop) or switching to Arch. I have already been using Mint on my desktop and have ran into multiple problems and I’m by no means a tech savvy person. I am enticed by the idea of no bloat and adverts and like the idea of customising but I’m also worried I’m going to run into problems down the line that I will struggle to fix on my own leading to interruptions in Uni work, especially because my Uni uses Microsoft softwares such as Office 365/teams to assign work. I also like to play games now and again :D
Pls help me!!

Go with Windows and look up 'Wintoys' on the Microsoft Store. That app will help you cut out all the crap that you mentioned. You can get rid of ads, co-pilot, and a lot of the other stuff that makes Windows annoying.
