So if you’re interested in professional paid support for the OS, something like Zorin OS or Ubuntu may be an option. I’ve seen others recommend Linux mint, and that’s my go-to for someone not familiar with Linux. It’s popular and even if whatever repair shop you’re taking it into isn’t familiar, they can find the resources online to fix whatever problem you may have. But being totally practical, even if you dislike windows, if it’s able to do what you need, and the people that you know are familiar with it, is it worth the effort to swap for you and your use case?
Some of those issues are addressable, even though they definitely suck, depending on how badly someone wants to swap to Linux. I have a PC I connect to my TV, and while it’s built in wifi doesn’t work on linux, I was able to buy a PCI wifi card and put it in, which works. You can do similar for Bluetooth. Currently I just use it over Ethernet. For laptops, it’s a pain but there are USB wifi/bluetooth devices you can get. Fingerprint readers are tougher, I believe, but I feel less critical. Either way, use what works best for you!
