Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.
Basically don’t run random sudo(superuser do, root access) commands you find on the internet without reading what the command does from docs or asking ai.
Leaving windows makes you more secure.
Also don’t worry about turning secureboot off. It makes it a lot less annoying and gets rid of a lot of issues.
Also also steam doesn’t like running on linux and having it’s library on windows filesystem you gotta format them both, if your games are on a separate drive.
My only two issues were also steam on ntfs and secureboot, which are easy fixes.
I’d like to add “flatpack apps not having access to another drive” as a very common beginner problem I had. Solution was easy: Add the drive in flatpack settings/flatseal or just don’t flatpak.

There you go, the two hurdles i had with linux.
Agreed.
Had the same problem with the Steam library on a Windows filesystem and some annoyances with NTFS drives.
Other than that, pretty easy overall (you have to tinker around with some games and wineversions though)
