I did this two years ago and had a similar experience. This was on a custom desktop PC.
Windows doesnt play well with dual boot, so I had to literally detach the SATA cable to keep it from eating my GRUB bootloader partition.
I switched to using the System76 distribution Pop! OS, which bakes in GPU drivers (among other things). I used the rust-based Cosmic desktop, but that choice is a different discussion.
On Linux, I was able to run almost every single Windows game well on a Nvidia 3060.
Storage was easy, pretty much everything supports FAT reads at a bare minimum, NTFS is possible with the FUSE drivers that are package-installable.
Development was easy, multimonitor was easy, suspend was a little wonky on my hardware, sleep was great.
Bluetooth ended up taking some serious wrangling for usb devices, about that point is when cli chops come in handy. Wifi was natural if a bit clunky UI-side.
All that said, they're still in early days, YMMV.
