You’re gonna love it! What distro did you go with?

Went with Mint. Seemed user friendly for someone new and is great so far.

Yes the trial version is free for 3 months, then you have to make a Linux account to purchase activation key for the full upgrade to unlock changing themes and recieving updates unless you’re okay with occasional popup reminders every 2-minutes that your Linux copy is not been activated. /s lol
