As someone who recently made the switch, DM me if there's anything I can help with. A lot of the Linux Bros on here will be completely unhelpful out of smug superiority. Also, if you have an HP, you will almost certainly have to do a LOT more work (I had to learn to edit GRUB config files pre-startup). It will be much easier if you don't have an HP. Anyway, open offer. Also, do Linux Mint.
I'm in the process of switching myself. Threw Ubuntu Studio on my laptop (Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra) and I'm currently testing for audio and music production to see if I can make the switch on my main PC for work. I'm loving it so far, though it's looking like a step back for audio production unfortunately. That being said, where there's a will there's a way!
