In 2023 it’s really easy now. Honestly the install process like 9 years ago was easier than windows because you got a proper Gui.
90% of shit runs in a browser now. Browsers have been fine on Linux since forever. I still game and video edit with a professional editor no problem. Just give it a whirl on a spare disk or something, I promise it will likely be painless :).
Not much to “learn” unless you have quirky hardware that doesn’t have proper drivers but most everything works out of the box these days.
I jump through hoops when I install Windows to avoid that Microsoft login. Total PITA.
I know Linux is better, and I do dabble in it. Sadly I’m a fossilized corporate drone at this point, and am stuck with Windows at my job.
One more thing to look forward to in retirement, finally getting serious about learning Linux.
