Easy actually. I'm on arch (Hyprland) right now, so no longer EOS but it's been refreshing. I'd recommend EOS as a base for any arch install, better than "arch installer" by a long shot. If you have dedicated storage I'd recommend using it and booting to the respective system through EFI rather than relying on software bootloader (windows likes to break it). I am running arch on a dedicated SSD and it's been smooth so far.

Thank you, I will read it
I have to log in to xfce for the profile to take effect. I set Nvidia settings to start at login, even though the process does start on Wayland it doesn't apply anything until I enter xfce, then I can exit it and start my Hyprland session
Enabling G-Sync and increasing digital vibrance on my second monitor. Everytime I need to increase the vibrance on my second monitor I have to first boot into xfce, open nvidia settings until the profile loads then log out and then log into hyprland. It's very annoying.
btrfs snapshots
I had a snapshot with Timeshift but did not revert back any changes made to the theming I was working on, so I distro hopped.
Depends on the distro, something like EOS is basically Arch with fancy pants on.
Not much difference between sway and Hyprland
I used to be on Majaro for awhile, years ago but I wouldn't recommend it now. It doesn't have any of the advantage of an Arch based distro. Their own repo has issue. I would recommend Endeavour OS
What Arch based distoe were you on? I would love to spend some time on Debian and OpenSUSE eventually. Also Fedora is intriguing, I wished I tried it already.
I've had experience with Debian based and Arch based distros only. I was on Majaro for months before I had to switch back to windows and leave Linux behind for awhile
i3 for while but I mainly used xfce. Hyprland overall feels "new", unlike X11, Wayland just "flows" better in a way. i3 felt more clunky but overall more stable, if that ever makes sense.

My recommendation would be to have Linux on the 500gb drive and then install windows directly on the other drive without partitioning. I wouldn't install Linux on a partition as Windows likes to mess with the bootloader but if Linux is on it's own drive you can always boot it from EFI without issues.
