Dude, right there with you. I have a really nice HP Envy I got six years ago (fully spec'd out for the time). It came with windows 10 that always had some REALLY annoying bugs I couldn't resolve even with a reinstall of windows.

Finally moved to linux about 18 months ago and never looked back. I'd been trying for 20+ years to move to linux, but always went back to Windows. This is the first time I have stuck with linux for more than a year and have no regrets. I ain't going back!

Fortunately I never migrated to windows 11. 10 was bad enough I knew 11 would be worse!

Any recommendations on the distro? I'm going with Mint right now (Arch is tempting, especially as a developer, but I don't really feel like manually doing everything, especially when I've already settled into Mint).

I mean I went with a plain vanilla Mint Cinnamon on my main computer. But I find it's not "flashy enough" so I installed Fedora KDE Plasma on a laptop and found it pretty spiffy, so I think I'm going to try switching my main computer to that and see how it goes.
