I switched to Linux last month and also started with Pop_OS. No mouse problems but it didn't like my game controller and had to do a similar fight. I switched to Bazzite and it's been seamless ever since. Fedora based.
The difference, Michael is while I WOULD tell my friends to buy bitcoin, I would NOT tell them to get a loan to buy more. I furthermore would NOT recommend them giving someone with an 800 credit score their money so they can get better terms on the loan. Pretending you're just another company that buys bitcoin and puts it on their balance sheet is nonsense. NOBODY invests in your company because they think you have a killer software business.
