Truth is windows has plenty of bugs too, the main difference is that it comes pre installed so you don’t have to deal with the install bugs, and you’re already acclimated to all its quirks so you don’t notice them as much.

As for Mint, it gets recommended a lot because it’s stable and looks a lot like windows, but it’s old and slow to update to modern standards, you can always go for a more bleeding edge distribution like fedora.

People making an informed choice about linux vs windows are a minority, the majority just don’t realize switching is even an option let alone have the technical know-how to go through with it. As long as windows comes pre installed, nothing will touch its hegemony.
