Because people suggest distros based on their preference, not what is best suited in a given situation.
On one hand Mint is limited to X11 for now and surprise surprise “dealing with multiple monitors is horrible on Linux”. On other hand they’re on NVIDIA. This is close to not be the case, but X11 was a hard requirement for decades
Timeshift should only roll back your system and not home folder, unless you explicitly include it (and you shouldn’t, for the exact reason).
There are couple of concerns and how Fedora Workstation is designed for… well, development workstation. There is SELinux, that sometimes gets in a way, now they ditched codecs with loyalties by default, some default configs are a bit controversial and maybe not perfectly suited for home computer and non-tech savvy users, 3rd party packages are sometimes lacking and when you want to go beyond what’s in stock repo and rpmfusion, you can even break the system by installing random COPR packages (I mean AUR is not a whole lot better, but is more complete and less needed given how much there is to stock repos, PPAs are just as bad) or end up compiling stuff manually. But I still think that Fedora can be pretty nice for many people out of the box.
Windows XP was notorious for this, in fact most non-compositing GUI interfaces had the same issue. It can still happen on some Linux systems with X11 with disabled compositor (or no compositor at all) and I guess I saw this not so long ago (within last ~2 years).
According to Russian propaganda Ukraine has been doing just that the entire time, but if it actually happened that would be yet another red line to cross.
Yes, windows can make some devices not function correctly on Linux (wifi cards for example) when it’s shut down with fast boot enabled
