Sorry to say but for 90% of users Linux doesn’t cut it.
I had been using Mint for the last couple of years, the hardware support simply isn’t up to speed with windows.
One of the most irritating thing was that I constantly had to reload the Samsung printer and scanner driver. For some unfathomable reason the “old” driver would stop detecting the printer or scanner.
Lst week I switched back to window - a much smoother and predictable user experience. I really, really wanted to like Mint, but it just isn’t at the same level as windows - and no, I’m not a newbie.
My experience with Linux Mint has been the exact opposite of what you describe.
How have you ruled out a hardware issue?
