my daily driver is a laptop and I haven't had any issues with drivers. I have an Nvidia GPU and it's been fine. if anything you can partion out your drive and give a linux distro a go to see how you like it. Linux Mint is painfully easy to install. I'm on CachyOS which is a little more "advanced" but not by much and it's just as easy to install.

I solidly refuse to believe you've had no issues with WiFi drivers on a laptop. Otherwise, yeah it's fine.

I've used various Linux distress on a half dozen laptops over rhe last 10 years and I've never had Wi-Fi driver issues

You can get Mint on a "Live" USB flash drive, so you can boot it up and see if it handles all your hardware before you install anything.
