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.
