Classic desktop Linux distributions like Mint totally work on the desktop. You only need to use it on regular HW that isn't too brand new that the kernel doesn't support it. For most folks it probably covers about 80% of what they need to do with minimum of fuss. I don't think there's a difficulty quotient for using Mint compared to the leap from Win10 to Win11. But personal bias will prevent a lot of folks giving Mint fair attempts to win them over. Not everybody wants to leave their comfort blanket.
