Been using Ubuntu Budgie as a my daily driver with no major issues, some printing problems once in a while that forces you to reset the printer (remove and and again). Other than that, can't complain. If you build PCs, get your self a decent board and at least 64GB of ram (128GB you will be golden for a while) and sky is the limit, you can run server apps, small development like docker and K8s or KIND. Unless MacMini comes back (in the fall I hear) affordable and tech specs that will beat any CPU on the market, hope fully with lotsa ram, I ain't goin back to macOS, new os will get even more spying through AI baked into the chip (no thank you) . YMMV of course.
