I recommend people try different things and use what works for them.

My setup is also #archlinux. When things break, its generally my fault and I have snapper with bootable btrfs snapshots to help me fix it, which is enough most of the time.

I have a very barebones setup with swaywm so I can stick to the keyboard and use the mouse less. I like the simplicity of tiling windowmanagers, and I use multiple workspaces and shuffle them around my monitors at need. There's some things that don't work, like cloning a display output (I have a workaround) and also screen capturing just a specific window.

Tbh, its fine, I can do the things I need with the tools I have.
