I can only speak for myself, but I have always had bad luck with Linux on desktop. Something always breaks, isn't compatible, or requires a lengthy installation process involving compiling multiple libraries because no .deb or .rpm is available.
On servers, it's fantastic. If you count VMs, I have far more Linux installations than Windows. In general, I use Win10 LTSC for anything that requires a GUI and Ubuntu Server for anything that only needs CLI or hosts a web interface.
Try Pop_OS!, it just works.

Most of those CLI instances I had to do on week one.
Since then.. Hardly ever. (On Pop_OS!)
