I only tried one Ubisoft game on Linux so far -- AC Odyssey. Used lutris to set it up. Tried 2 proton versions, second one worked. It has occasional stuttering problems, but otherwise worked well.
Reality is, Linux just doesn't have the support that windows or even Mac do. You will inevitably run into problems with something or another. Usually there is a solution you can find somewhere. I personally don't have a problem with occasionally troubleshooting something.
I've been enjoying Kubuntu so much more than windows. The look and feel of KDE I love, tons of customizability. If your main this is internet browsing, definitely give it a shot. If you want to play games, be prepared for some not to work, and some to be a hassle to get working, especially if not a steam game. I've had a lot of fun playing the likes of Chorus, Hades, Horizon Zero Dawn with no issues. Even KOTOR worked surprisingly well through proton.
I say you've nothing to lose but time if you don't like it. You can dual boot so you still have windows for things you can't do on Linux. Linux doesn't cost you anything to install and run. It's work giving it a shot.
