I - a complete Linux-illiterate - have spent the last seven months trying and mostly failing to get Linux to work on my desktop.
What went wrong? Well, you name it!

I’m glad Mint just worked for you. I installed it on my wife’s laptop my mother-in-law’s laptop (former didn’t want Win11 spyware, and latter didn’t want spyware + her ancient laptop can’t support it) and they’re both running excellently. I use CachyOS on my desktop and laptop, and those run incredibly smooth. Mint really does just work.
Sorry your experience was very rocky, but I’m glad you got there! 😅
