Next up: Microsoft Linux with crap like Game Center.

You might have a MicroSD or SD cars lying around which you can use as a USB stick with a $1 reader e.g. from Aliexpress.

Why Ubuntu though? For someone migrating from Windows I can recommend using an immutable distro like Bazzite/Silverblue/Kinoite (based on Fedora Atomic) or Opensuse Tumbleweed.

I did not have any problems with Wayland for 6 months on Arch (personal PC for hobby projects and gaming). I also don’t want to troubleshoot, it just works. Most applications are installed via flatpak.
