my daily driver is a laptop and I haven't had any issues with drivers. I have an Nvidia GPU and it's been fine. if anything you can partion out your drive and give a linux distro a go to see how you like it. Linux Mint is painfully easy to install. I'm on CachyOS which is a little more "advanced" but not by much and it's just as easy to install.

I solidly refuse to believe you've had no issues with WiFi drivers on a laptop. Otherwise, yeah it's fine.

I've used various Linux distress on a half dozen laptops over rhe last 10 years and I've never had Wi-Fi driver issues

Every damn time I get a new laptop I lose hours to WiFi drivers, even then I'll still occasionally and have no WiFi.

nope, haven't had any issues with wifi. in fact it works better now than it did on Windows. On windows every so often I'd have to reinstall the OS simply because the wifi stopped working regardless of reinstalling drivers.

On linux haven't had that issue at all and if anything it's more reliable.
