Apart from compatibility all other features are available on Linux. You yourself said that you've never contacted support other than to activate Windows (which you wouldn't need on Linux).

I recommend that you install Fedora KDE and observe how shockingly easy and polished everything is.

You have never worked in IT or an enterprise level job,

Nice assumption. I do work in IT. And Ironically use WSL2 on Windows because my employer only provides Windows laptops but my tech stack requires Linux.

I have installed Linux for family members who have no IT background. They were fine as long as the browser icon and the start menu started the same.
