I used PopOS as well as Fedora on my desktop for school for 2 years. Tried it on a Lenovo as well and that was pretty laughable. I lost 30% of my battery life switching to linux. I gave up this year and just bought the 16" M1 Mac when it came out. Some things are absolutely laughable about it but for the most part it just works TM. For the 95% use case it's fine but the 5% where stuff just breaks is infuriating. Office just doesn't work right, and random things subtly break and it's hard to fix even as a technical user. I don't want to navigate between a bunch of files and waste time editing config files for hours. Give me a UI that tells me how to fix my shit. Only place where I run linux now is on a virtualized server using Proxmox. Linux is a great server OS but it just doesn't work very well as a user distro.

This applies to all OSes. > I don't want to navigate between a bunch of files and waste time editing config files for hours. Not something you usually do on Linux but well. > Give me a UI that tells me how to fix my shit. My understanding of the UI on proprietary OSes when something needs to be fixed is they don't tell you at all how to fix their shit. You just enter an insane loop of "please wait while we fix your issues" dialog windows which almost never solve the issue. At least in the FOSS world you can usually look at the logs and understand the error. Open the windows event viewer and you are mostly faced with codes that you have to search online for a signification.
