There were minor issues on 5.5 at the start of the cycle when some patches were overlooked, but that's all fixed now.

I honestly don't experience more problems than with my MacBook, (especially after major upgrades).

Maybe the issue is people just keep defaulting to Ubuntu and equating their experiences there with Linux as a whole. Maybe it just isn't the best distro around.

I'd honestly go with EndeavourOS, Manjaro or if you want to stay in the Ubuntu ecosystem, maybe Mint. I know everybody always says just switch distros, but honestly Ubuntu hasn't been the best distro around for anything for over a decade.
