Ever since I stopped gaming as much, linux has become infinitely more fitting to me. My main driver is Mint 21.3, it does everything i want it to. Its fun, and a great learning experience. Though obviously you gotta want to learn how to fix things if things go wrong, which they still do, but mostly at the beginning. After installing the right graphics drivers, and fixing touchpad scroll speed, everythings smooth sailing.
I have nowhere near the experience you have, but remember giving Linux a try like a decade ago, and promptly gave up…
Tried again half a year ago, this time with a little more patience, and successfully transitioned fully! Rocking Mint 21.3, and loving it!! Even my printer works, even the bkuetooth receiver for my Soundsystem!! couldnt be happier!
