I've always enjoyed regular Ubuntu but Linux Mint is a favorite. I'd install that before anything else. I've used both on my school laptops with great success. I'd use Linux as the default if it wasn't for gaming, which is why school laptops (laptops owned by me, used for school) are the perfect use case.
These days gaming on linux is pretty good, lots of games run better than on windows. Typically the only thing that doesn't work (on release, often afterwards it gets fine) is (shitty) DRM/anticheat like denuvo.
That's what I've heard. Maybe I'll give it another shot one day, I just lack the time.
They are correct 100%. 99% of things work without issue or with minor fixes. (protondb.com for any issues you have.) I recently switched from Windows to Linux myself and ended up going with Mint.
Thanks for the reassurance! I'll definitely have to do some testing
