I asked someone with a lot of experience in the matter which distro to use and their recommendation was way below my standards.

It's just too much work, and I've only ever experienced Gnome in the distros I've tried and hated it. Windows is far from perfect but I know it like the back of my hand. Every step of the way in trying to use Linux for me was a chore.
I got tired of the graphics breaking every update.
I have a spare nvme SSD and recently took a weekend to play with various Linux desktop distributions. EndeavorOS and Pop! OS were my favorite. But I have an RTX 3080 and can't afford to replace it with an AMD GPU. It didn't work well enough with my games. I'm really attached to HDR which seems to be coming but is not generally available for most games yet. I feel like the writing is on the wall and Windows will not be a suitable option for me in the near future, but right now I have the least issues with Windows 11.
I use Linux all the time for hosting various services at work, but never with a GUI.
