Hello and welcome to Linux.org. I'm an official Ubuntu Member and can speak to this -- a little.
*puts on his official Ubuntu hat*
If you're going to go with an Ubuntu flavor, of which there are a few - but they're all Ubuntu underneath, you might just as well go with the most recent and, if preferred, the most recent long term stable (LTS) version.
Currently, as happens every two years, both of those things happen to be true - it is both the most recent and a LTS version. Odds are good that your hardware will work just fine in any of the official flavors. It's in the right age group, not too old and not too new, so your experience should be pretty good.
As for 22.04, I am actually on the Lubuntu team (of which I'm also a Member) and work closely with the developers to ensure you get the fewest bugs possible with our enviable testing. We test very, very heavily - as compared to the other official flavors and even Ubuntu itself.
All the flavors of Ubuntu, be it Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Lubuntu, etc., are all just Ubuntu with different defaults, maybe different installers, different desktops and the likes - but they're all Ubuntu. You can turn any of them into Ubuntu and tern Ubuntu into any of them.
So, I personally have hundreds of hours of experience with what you know as 22.04. I say give it a shot, though my personal preference is Lubuntu.
One thing to remember before you jump in...
It's not Windows and you will have to learn new skills. Be prepared for a learning curve - but you can jump in and start using it pretty darned easily. It's really only complicated when you make it complicated, which is where the learning curve is.
