I started same way with Ubuntu on old laptops to extend life. I later bought a Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu preinstalled. I like figuring stuff out, but it can get infuriating as I too am not a tech job person, just enthusiastic. I keep a "how to Linux" text file with notes. The forums & to tutorials help a lot. I did manage to get a pihole up & running recently (days of fiddling with router). It's a hard learning curve, but when I get on my spouse's window 11 laptop I feel vindicated. Would I switch distros? Eh. My needs are met & it's working. IDK what it entails to get back to the settings / setup I've got now.
