You are mostly right. Its tricky to get into Linux.
Linux is not for running windows programs. Linux alternative of such programs suffice my need. although some can be installed using wine but its highly likely you will likely run into bug. Some apps such as adobe suite, office 365, etc won’t work at all.
Those distro recommendation websites are garbage, don’t trust any of them. There are “basically” three main flavours
Arch
Debian/Ubuntu
Redhat
Everything else is just based on them. Like pop os, Mint, Zorin are basically same under the hood. You can make any distro do whatever you want.
I’ve never got Wine to work. Gave up with Windows programmes as there’s nothing I need there. Other people have different uses though.
Looks like my distro hopping days are over now though and settled with EndeavourOS. I’m well aware it’s Arch with a fancy hat on but it suits me. For now 😉

I like how you put Ubuntu there. It’s based on Debian.
I just have been out for too long. I don’t recall arch being a major flavor. I thought it was slack?
Slack still exists, but it’s not particularly popular. Arch is one of the big ones now.
