Apart from compatibility all other features are available on Linux. You yourself said that you've never contacted support other than to activate Windows (which you wouldn't need on Linux).
I recommend that you install Fedora KDE and observe how shockingly easy and polished everything is.
- You have never worked in IT or an enterprise level job,
  Nice assumption. I do work in IT. And Ironically use WSL2 on Windows because my employer only provides Windows laptops but my tech stack requires Linux.
  I have installed Linux for family members who have no IT background. They were fine as long as the browser icon and the start menu started the same.
  
  if not for your help, would you family be using Linux? Could they have installed it alone, and maintain whatever distor they were using, without help?
  No they wouldn't. Then again, they don't know how to install Wndows themselves either. So it's a moot point. Just like they know how to use their Android phone but don't know how to install it.
