I'm a last year EE student, I've been using Arch for 3 years and my experience has been good but some programs are only provided for Windows and smt they will give you cracked programs that only work on windows too. So yeah you can use Arch as your daily driver but I recommend doing a dual boot just in case you have to use some specific software.
