I switched to Ubuntu last week for my desktop. First time in my 25+ year career I’ve felt like Microsoft was wasting my time more than administering a Linux desktop would take. The slop effect is real.

You won't regret. I have been using debian for last 25 years on and off and for last 8 years non stop. I have no complains.

I've used Kubuntu for several years, wife too now which is an official, supported flavor of Ubuntu using KDE desktop instead of Gnome. It gives a more Windows like or CDE (Common Desktop Environment - from UNIX systems) feel than Gnome which gives a more Mac feel.

You might want to change to Debian or some other distro more radical.

Linux kernels will all eventually be permeated with AI-gen code as well. It will just take longer to see and feel the effects.
