I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.
Your laptop must be an exception. I’ve installed Linux Mint on an old laptop that couldn’t even run Windows 10 properly and it just worked with zero hiccup.
I had a similar problem with an NUC where the install would work but was unbootable after. In my case the USB showed up as both a BIOS and UEFI boot device and the mobo was picking the legacy mode. This made the install a legacy boot install which was not bootable.
To fix it I had to manually choose to boot the install USB’s UEFI mode.
When you say Any Linux, are you referring to debian derivatives only? Have you tried rpm based? I had same issue with one laptop. However Bazzite offers images based on hardware type so one of those
might work
They figured if they make Win 10 just as bad as Win 11 people will finally switch over.
Obligatory Linux plug.

I dunno, I’d eat Costco hot dogs all day every day.
Preach, brother. I wouldn’t live long, but I’d finally live happy
They really do have outstanding tubesteaks
Obligatory anti cheat means gaming on Linux isn’t straightforward

What make and model, what problem is it giving you?

What distros did you try?
Super weird. My laptop had a new enough GPU that Windows didn’t even have proper drivers yet and it worked out of the box on Linux.

Skill issue.

What’s the model number?
And specifically windows recovery partitions enjoy nuking grub at every step.

Well, there’s your problem. Windows nukes it in a blind panic.
As an alternative, windows in a vm for your work software, Linux as the only physical install.
Does it allow for a second SSD?

What happens if you boot it with only the Linux SSD attached?
