I've been using Linux as my desktop exclusively for 20 + years. Ubuntu used to be very usable and efficient. Today, I use Linux mint. Ubuntu unity desktop makes working with the operating system less efficient then using the cinnamon desktop in Linux mint. There is also a strange divergence in Ubuntu from net tools and towards snap that makes the system overall more difficult to use. Having used distributions since around 1994, exclusively since 1999, pick a flavor that works best for you. Mint works with everything out of the box. I've been very happy with it as my desktop.
