Those are perfectly fine reasons, but I just wanted to share my experience as maybe things are better since last time you used the other popular OS that permits upgradable hardware:

- Thanks to infusion from Valve, Wine now works really well. The recent game Helldivers 2 constantly crashes on my friends's Windows PCs, but it has not crashed for me. The Windows users are asking a Linux user to host the game!

- This will almost sound like a joke, but after JACK/ALSA/PulseAudio/GStreamer did not do the job, now there is yet another, the new PipeWire. Anyway, it works great and its bluetooth headset support is better than what I have experienced on android/osx/windows.
