You need to get into the mindset that you'll have to learn to fix Linux issues, and stop thinking Linux is a 1:1 replacement for Windows. It is its own thing. You're accustomed to fix Windows problems so you do not consider them problems anymore. Same goes for everything.
Adjust your expectations, learn what components give you the functionality you want (IE: need smb support on my file browser I need to install GVFS, etc.) And more importantly, learn the fact that not all hardware is Linux compatible, if a $5 WIFI adaptor is not supported by the standard kernel drivers, put it in the bin and buy one that does. Same goes for everything else. You might think that is bad or retarded and that it costs money, but that is how the world works, you do not complain when you find software in a Mac that only works with Apple hardware and vice-versa don't you?
Learn to backup your system when it works (Trivial on Linux) and it is dead easy to recover from any situation, Linux can always be repaired. I haven't reinstalled a single machine at least since 2019, I just keep restoring the latest backup when I change hardware.
And more importantly you need to accept its limitations, when you replace Windows you aren't replacing Windows alone, you're replacing an entire ecosystem.
