I'm running Windows now after trying to switch my primary device to Ubuntu periodically for the last 5 years... I've been experimenting with Ubuntu since 2007 and none of my devices have been able to run it well. If you've got a basic setup or don't want a graphical environment, things are fine, but I think I tend to push the limit a bit too much
In my case I also need KVM etc. On Windows I just use Hyper-V when I need a VM (many years ago I'd use Virtual PC). Hyper-V has never rendered my device unusable, even when pushing the limits with things like GPU pass through. I think my 2018 attempt failed when trying to update Ubuntu kernel after setting up KVM for a Windows VM; I had restarted between getting KVM set up and doing the Ubuntu update.
I haven't documented anything - I wanted to but I never really found the solutions I was looking for. I'm not making this up; I'd really love to be typing this from Ubuntu right now.
edit: I reviewed and made changes for a more constructive tone.
