I agree.
I switched to unstable because I wanted the latest kernel and latest Plasma, my experience has been mostly positive but there are weird issues like not being able to install ffmpeg due to some dependency conflict. I can compile ffmpeg from source and install just fine tho
You don’t need Adobe Acrobat, there are fully functional alternatives to read PDF, you don’t have to use Windows software
My GTX 1060 just stopped receiving feature updates in november but it’s still supported with bug fixes and it is a GPU from 2016. There is a good chance your GTX 1650 will be supported for the next 10 years since the architecture is new enough to use the latest RTX drivers
Linux and legacy Nvidia cards don’t go well toghether.
Probably the oldest GPU you want to use is one from the GTX700 series (2014), anything older doesn’t have usable drivers, the official ones are outdated and likely broken with no Wayland support.
I hate to say this but probably Windows 10 is your best option
EDIT: I had similar graphical issues on a Mac Mini 2010 running Windows 10, but I fixed it by using an older driver version. If you need the ancient drivers I have, let me know
