I currently run a dual boot with Arch and Windows 11 on an XPS 13. There are positives to each:

* Windows has much better support for handling the Hi/Multi DPI setup that is my laptop + 2 4K screens. Wayland gets there, but unfortunately the font rendering is annoying bad, and the fractional scaling doesn't quite look right. And of course it's a very "just works" experience if you stay on the happy path. The Windows OneDrive + Office integration is great, and I have some photo software I run that is Windows-only.

* Arch gives a much better "pure laptop" experience. Hotkeys make everything easy, tiling WMs are just infinitely superior if you're working off one small screen. Also I get BETTER battery life on Arch, the laptop runs totally cool (and fans never spin up), and closing the lid puts it into true S3 sleep. It's very snappy and I use less RAM.

Also, I think people have this idea that if you use Arch the only "right" way to do it is to spend a million hours setting up a whole universe of CLI apps and becoming a wizard with hotkeys. I only use the CLI if it's truly easier than a GUI or something I don't use often. I basically just install the regular google-chrome-stable binary from AUR and then do everything on the web. Email? I set up a desktop link to fastmail. Spotify? Don't bother with native linux app, just set up a desktop link to the web player. Need to use Excel and don't feel like switching to windows? Just go use the web version, etc...Seriously, the move to webapps is doing more for the linux desktop experience than anything else.

Just gonna plug my bspwm-esque tiling windows manager for Windows 10 and 11 here since I know how hard life on Windows is without one: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/

Small world! I use this and submitted issue #22 about the Electron/Chromium frozen window problem. Despite that issue, really fantastic software, by far the best linux-like tiling WM solution for Windows at the moment (and I've tried them all). Fantastic work!
