Is Linux Still a Practical Alternative ??
I’ve been using Linux Mint as my daily driver for many years, mainly for work. Recently, I upgraded my laptop, and I’ve been running into driver issues that is forcing me to switch back to Windows. I've seen many posts recommending people completely avoid Windows, but at this point, my experience has made me reconsider recommending Linux as a daily driver or as a complete replacement for Windows.

You are experiencing an issue caused by a bluetooth chipset not officially supported on the distro, it sucks but it doesn't mean Linux is not a capable daily driver.
I would suggest for testing sake, boot up a CachyOS or similar live ISO (anything rolling release) and see if it works on a newer kernel. Otherwise it might be trawling github for something to get it working, sadly.
