Use Arch if you want maintaining your system to be a hobby in its own right. Use Mint if you just want something that works.

The funny thing is, I feel like I have to maintain my arch system less than Windows

It's definitely not as bad as people make out. That said, I only run Arch on my main machine, and Debian on the rest. Just in case, you understand.

Unless you want two monitors with different scaling.

Arch is great if you want to customize your system, but I wouldn't say it really needs "maintaining" beyond just updating more frequently. (which you don't even really need to do very often, you just have the option to get newer versions of software.)

I don't even update my Arch setup that often. Most of my stuff lives in flatpaks. I just want updated software and rolling release, which Arch is the best for that.
