Windows is so unstable
I switched to Linux on a laptop of mine because an update to windows caused it to not boot.
Now I get to deal with my keyboard backlight not working, sometimes the keyboard freezing on resume, my Bluetooth not connecting on the first try, and my wifi sometimes not working, but it boots fine every time.
Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.
I have, it works better on Fedora than PopOS or ubuntu. There's actually a fix for the 17 inch version of my laptop in the main kernel, but it explicitly mentions the full model number so doesn't apply to my 13 inch version. I spent a long time trying and failing to figure out how to build a kernal with a patch for my model.
