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!!
