You can do everything but you will have problems with word documents. There’s online office for better compatability with the caveat of reduced functionality. There’s great compatability with Only Office and WPS Office but its not perfect.
There was a comment recommending Zorin OS and I agree. Its a great distro to switch to from windows. Setup is easy and flathub is included in the software store.
I’d recommend trying Linux on dualboot and see if you can replace windows!
True, it’s Broadcom’s fault. From which ISO? I only have one Mac so I’ve only been able to install there. It worked out of the box but it always randomly froze after two hours of use until I found it was the Broadcom Wifi
~~I have a 2013 MacBook running Ubuntu. I would recommend Kubuntu because idk which wifi chip your MacBook has but it probably won’t play nice with Linux (which is apple drivers fault). And there is a great guide on how to fix it for Ubuntu

You could pay for realdebrid and add it to stremio
Don’t know about piracy based distros but it’s really easy to pirate in Nobara using lutris and comes pre configured for gaming. It also has Only office which has amazing compatibility with MS office
I’ve been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don’t get me wrong they’re both great, but Sync is that much better
