The year is 2022, on linux I can: browse the internet, open steam, discord etc. as native clients, adjust my room ambient lightning, play a current AAA title with a 1 click-tweak, edit a YT vector thumbnail and record & edit a video. Never would have dreamt leaving windows would be this comfy.

Well it's just the default Discord app (the flatpack) that I downlaoded using the Pop shop. The email client is mailspring, steam (again flatpack off pop shop), dropbox (same), slack (same), the hue control is an extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3737/hue-lights/), and finally the monitor is also an extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1460/vitals/)

  Open source driver and user-space daemon to control Razer lighting and other features on GNU/Linux

  

What hardware do you have? Basically the only troubles with hardware are needing to install Nvidia drivers (Pop OS makes it easy with an 'Nvidia' option once you boot into it for the first time), and maybe needing projects like OpenRazer or Piper to configure your mouse (I like the standard DPI on my Razer mouse, so I don't need OpenRazer).
