For your specific case, sure, but for that quote, I haven't had those issues in years. I'm also running Mint, but on a desktop and have had zero issues. Mouse "just works," extra monitors "just work," and (most surprisingly to me), printer "just works," games on Steam "just work" with all they've done with Proton. I switched to Google docs a long time ago, so at least for me the Office thing isn't relevant. It natively supports discord, my password manager, Spotify, everything I've wanted. I switched my wife's Mac to it years ago since it had gotten slow from bloat, and she's been just fine despite not being very tech literate.
