Arch seems to have the same problems, and in addition few days ago I discovered that my wifi stopped working (that laptop was docked and was using wired connection for last few weeks but had wifi working before).
The worst part is those are the machines I use for work ;(

Why are you using experimental OSs on work machines? The LTS versions exist for a reason.
Did you disable Wayland? You can easily select X.org on the log in. Or just use 18.04 which went back to X by default.
Also, I think you are being unfair, upgrades on Windows are bad too. You are always recommended to a do a fresh install.
You need to work on describing your actual issues instead of being so vague if you actually want help with things. Like with this:

I do not know if your wifi gave out on 17.10 or Arch. Arch is it's own bag of worms-for all I know you are running a prerelease kernel on that new Intel NUC that runs poorly on Windows right now due to bad drivers.
Arch breaks a lot on it's own. You shouldn't be using it if you don't intend to fix it. If you want a more user friendly with Arch, try Manjaro.
