Big recommend to just jump straight to OrcaSlicer. It has Bambu Studio's much-improved-over-PrusaSlicer UI but with features ported in from PrusaSlicer and SuperSlicer and compatibility with non-Bambu printers.

I switched from PS to Orca a few weeks ago, it is just a much better featured slicer. I also absolutely love that I can just click "print" and it automatically uploads and starts the print on my printer. Only had to enter the IP of my printer and that was it, extremely user friendly.
I'm not sure I agree the UI is better...it is different, and not entirely intuitive for me when looking for some settings.
FWIW, prusaslicer can also upload and print. The setting to enable it is a bit hidden though… (it’s in printer settings)
