It would probably take having someone sit down and help me switch and teach me the basics, and the guarantee that I wouldn’t lose access to any of my games or important programs. Also less bloatware would be beneficial, idk if that’s true of Linux, I don’t know much about it.

what games? what programs?

I mostly play Steam games these days, but also Minecraft. Programs, I guess would be Discord, Waterfox, and Tidal. Mostly I just want to be sure that I could do anything with my computer that I wanted to.

It all just works on Linux nowadays

Every game and every program cannot be guaranteed to work even after the next Windows update. Almost all games that don’t use a kernel level anti cheat will work though.

I’ve found that 90% of users probably wouldn’t have a difficult time using Linux as their new OS. The problems usually show up when needing to use terminal or when specific software companies don’t support Linux.

The average user that just browses the internet and uses basic office apps most likely wouldn’t have any issues.

Find an old PC lying around your home swap the drive out or create a separate partition, there are plenty of YouTube videos out there. Worst case you waste an afternoon.
