Using i3 with Arch? I used to have problems with all the things you mentioned, takes a bit to learn what the best tools are and how to set them up. But now any other OS feels like I'm missing a limb
With sway, graphics are almost totally problem-free, now that almost everything I need are wayland-native. As for sound... pipewire might deliver that some day but not quite yet. Especially my DAC and usb headset make some troubles there.
