Let me know how it goes. I haven't gotten around to trying it out yet and may not as soon as I thought I would.

Myself, I have 1 desktop and 2 laptops. The desktop is about 10 years old, one laptop is 9 years old, the other one is 3,5 years old.
Me desktop runs on Windows Server 2019, my youngest laptop came with Windows 11, the old one runs Pop!_OS (24.04), which is a Ubuntu-based and made by US company System76, who have very nice Linux hardware in their assortment and produce their own Linux operating system. Their hardware is priced like Macs are. But you do get a lot of hardware for it.
Anyway, I really like Pop!_OS. I was using Pop!_OS around 2020 for about a year on another really old laptop. And that experience was working out well for me. About 80% of the tools I use on Windows was already available as Linux native applications. That made the jump to Linux a pretty smooth one. Granted, I don't do a lot of graphic work. Even if I did use Linux in a multi-monitor setup (which worked out-of-the-box).
With the above in mind I found Pop!_OS to be enjoyable to use. For work I have a laptop that I use for maintenance work in the network. That one runs on Linux Mint and this distribution also works very well. It "feels" a lot like Windows 7, if that is of any help.
My oldest laptop has now Pop!_OS (24.04) on it, and I use it also to play games from my GoG library on it and that works rather well.
The only thing I truly miss in Linux is Directory Opus. And DOpus is also the reason why I find Windows 11 still palatable. I hardly do anything with the W11 OS and do as much as possible within DOpus instead.
