I think it makes sense to hold off for a year or two before getting back into Linux. As long as W10 remains well-supported and W11 isn't the sole choice, I’d prefer sticking with a Debian-based distribution since that’s what I’ve relied on most.

It's perfectly fine to use what you like. There is nothing at all wrong with Ubuntu. I doubt very many here would dig my Gentoo or FreeBSD builds but it suits me so I use it.

I was looking into software alternatives for tools commonly used on Windows. I haven’t explored Linux Mint yet, though I’ve booted it dual and adjusted it with GRUB and custom settings. KUbuntu has been my go-to instead of standard Ubuntu because of my comfort with Windows environments, which offers a different interface compared to GNOME.

I often consider revisiting KUbuntu, especially when thinking about getting back into Linux. It was suggested to me a while back when choosing a laptop for my machine. I installed Mint on a refurbished laptop from a friend last year—replacing the screen, keyboard, battery, adding an SSD, and giving it a thorough clean. Compared to its performance before, it made a huge difference, especially on Windows. Nowadays, I mainly use it for light tasks like browsing the web and playing OSRS. Regarding software, I searched for a mouse and keyboard setup but found nothing suitable. For my mouse, I discovered Piper, which lets me adjust DPI, RGB, and macro buttons. Unfortunately, no keyboard options were available. While I enjoyed using GTA Trilogy Definitive edition and appreciated the ability to set macros for cheats, I couldn’t find a solution that worked for auto-typing. I also tried a cheat engine alternative like Game Conqueror, but it didn’t meet my needs.
