I switched between Arch and Ubuntu a few times. Ended up on Ubuntu and didn't switch for a year or more now. Driver support, gaming support, barely any hassle with drivers and printers and graphics and so on is the only thing that is keeping me. I honestly think that Arch is better and faster and has less bloat, but I am "stuck" with Ubuntu because of it's stellar compatibility.
I don't really care, I am using i3-wm so anything looks and behaves pretty much the same on any distro.

I had a similar experience with Ubuntu. Once I needed to scan something and was used to Windows and that it just works or grabs the driver automatically and was unsure how to get it done on Ubuntu. But Ubuntu had already pretty good Scanner drivers packed with it and a nice GUI for it.
That is a little bit more effort on Arch, so I can understand that you choose to stick to Ubuntu :)
After seeing some configs of i3 now I think I'll use it, too.
Honestly, I couldn't recommend i3wm more. It is amazing. Just like anything on Linux, takes time to configure at first. But after 1 month you're rolling. I've been using i3wm for more than a year without switching to anything else. I can definitely say this is, so far, the biggest reason I would never come back to Windows.
