Do you have a computer or laptop at home?
Do you stay on Windows or Mac? Are you planning to switch or try Linux? Or are you already a Linux user?
When you have games on your PC, nothing beats win. So I'm not changing.
But if I want to change I just do it. This can be done in less than a day. You don't have to want a lot, you can just do it.
Linux can be downloaded free of charge on a stick or DVD and then simply installed at any time. I don't know how well it works with Mac hardware, but with a Win computer you can do it at any time without having to prepare yourself for it.
You can also try out Linux at any time. There are so-called live systems. This allows you to install Linux on a sufficiently large USB stick and simply start it from the stick. Your win is not touched and just continues. However, it is grotto-slow with most sticks because of the stick speed.
I actually prefer Linux systems and use them on all other devices (multiple servers, smartphones, Raspberry Pi's, etc.), but there are still too many problems with desktop systems. I've tried it several times, but in the end there's always something incompatible (software or hardware) or only works to a limited extent.
Windoof also has its problems, which are very annoying, but at least everything I need works relatively reliably.
Since we don't know your requirements, it is difficult to find an answer.
I use Linux through my studies because there's a lot of open source software and most programs run best there. Linux is also the safer system.
However, I advise against it for a Windows user who does not intend to learn shell programming.
Under Windows you are spared using command line commands. You can't get around anywhere under Linux.
In addition, some popular programs and games can't be used on Linux.
Depending on your needs, Windows is more suitable for normal private use or everyday office life.
Of course, if you only use programs that run under Linux and you enjoy learning, then go ahead. Then you will have a lot of fun with Linux.
How many processor devices (apart from Thermomix and TV) do you have privately?
So you mean devices on which I could at least in some way install Linux myself? I myself have around 15 (PCs, laptops, servers, smartphones, Raspberry Pi's, routers), but I manage more devices for other people. If I counted Linux-capable microcontrollers, there would be a few more.
