For me it’s pretty much plug and play with Linux mint. Had some problems with vr and integrated graphics but just disabled them in BIOS and runs fine. You can try dual booting mint and see for yourself, just make windows portion smaller through windows and install mint in the empty partition. I’m not that tech savy still but I can search online. Feel free to ask anything but today Linux might be easier than windows to understand how to use unless the develepor actively dislikes Linux. Currently using cachyOS and I enjoy it but it is for more advanced users. Just need to know few basic konsole commands and find name of the package you want to install. I’m still very dumb in most things Linux but there are tutorials and forums that most likely have people with same or similar issues you might encounter.
