I've been very happy using Linux Mint which is based on Ubuntu but seems to work better for me.
If you have an old desktop or laptop try Linux Mint XFCE
If your "old " system is 4 years old you can run the latest Linux Mint.
Your design work looks very sharp.
I'll do it :) I guess I can run it from a bootable USB to start with. Mint + Wine + SATSuma would be cool if it works. Doesn't sound a tasty combination 🤮
Thanks for the compliment on the design. It means a lot. Hardly anyone has tried it yet and that's the first bit of feedback I've had! I expect the design isn't for everyone but it has a theme builder for colours, background, etc...

Yes, try the USB for sure. You'll discover some great tools.
Another install you could do is an external SSD. Just make sure not to hose your original machine!
For many years fixing windows systems I used Linux USB boots to remove malware, recover files, change passwords... All kinds of fun.
