I've now used Mint for a few weeks and never going back.
At work I just spent over an hour on a Friday waiting for a windows update to install. The copilot crap is in everything. Opening our personal pc or laptop at home feels like an oasis of peace compared. No invasive ads, no AI, everything seems to work better. Only thing that took some figuring out was the nvidia driver on our pc, but we got there. All our games work, including battledotnet that definitely would not want to.
My laptop was miserably running it's fans constantly when just watching netflix on a browser on win. Now it's so much faster, completely silent and probably will work for years still.
Should have done this sooner, I procrastinated for well over a year with this. But the AI crap and pushing win 11 pushed me to get this done.
I've been using arch btw for more than 4 years now as my main OS and every time I boot into a Windows machine I take psychic damage. Linux ain't perfect but I'll take having to occasionally debug and fix something after an update over constantly fighting against my OS.
