I have been exclusively using Linux at home for many years and with every passing day, more so in the age of AI, the decision is more and more validated. I used to say that Linux is not for everyone, there is a non-trivial learning curve and it requires commitment and willingness to spend time troubleshooting in case of issues etc.

A lot of that is still true but the usability improvements combined with downright hostile behavior exhibited by Windows makes me say to Windows users that are tired of this nonsense: if you can and are not tied to Windows-only proprietary software, making an effort to switch would be a _very_ good investment of your time.

You don't need to do big-bang, you can dual-boot and progressively migrate. One of the best decisions I did was move to my data to a separate drive/partition (NTFS filesystem) on Windows - that allowed me to have access to all my data (documents/music/videos et all) from both Windows and Linux and made the migration that much more easy.
