Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.
I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.
Running my small business on Manjaro Linux for 5 years now and wouldn’t change back to Windows ever.
I’m using a cloud based customer database with implemented billing - I’m using Libre office for all my office needs and Canva, Inkscape and Gimp for any graphics I could need. Installing printers and other hardware is a breeze.
Manjaro is a rolling release with very few problems. I can highly recommend it.
Highly recommend against Manjaro for anyone for any use case

I can corroborate the article from my personal experience, Manjaro is a terrible OS with constant stability issues
I’ve literally never had any issues. But there are enough other brginnerfriendly distros out there :)
