You can without using it if you really want to. I probably wouldn't though. I use Garuda, which is Arch based, but I don't say I use Arch ever. However, basically everything on the Arch wiki will apply (which is probably the greatest resource for Linux even if not on Arch), and also the AUR will work.
Just so you're aware though like others have said, this should probably not replace Windows for your desktop. It's designed for a handheld, not a desktop. Use a distro designed for desktop if you want to. Garuda has a great version for gaming that gets you up and running in minutes. There are a lot of other great choices too.
