ventoy is what has worked best for me

Well, I do. In fact I've installed Linux on 4 classmate's laptops, after insisting for some time.
VSCode or JetBrains Rider are good options for .net development, both available on Linux.
all you had to do, was enabling rpm fusion cj
I wish more apps where officially supported, instead of saying it supports Linux and providing a .deb. Good thing the community provides unofficial flatpaks at least.
I understand your perspective but the steps you mentioned are what you'd expect when installing an os. Even windows 11 would require you to turn on TPM which, for some, might be a super painful experience.
I use flatpak for all GUI apps I use.
I have a zenbook as well (not the same model) and I only had problems with Windows. When coming back from suspension it would be hot and the screen had like white fog on the edges. I tried to fix it but with no success. Frustrated with that I decided to give Linux a try and never had that problem again.
I assume you changed the ssd, I didn't know that was possible, I thought it was soldered to the motherboard. Is it possible you received a faulty drive from WD?

If that is a true priority, then you do not want Android TV.
Not even a raspberry pi with lineage os?
You would also be hesitant with youtube and netflix
I know. As I said, I'd be using Jellyfin for the most part.
