I have run Linux on servers and I even have one machine running Linux as a workstation but I'm very confortable in Windows. I've been with Microsoft since the MS-DOS 3 days.

I don't know your use case, but I'm less skilled with computers than you (I'm currently trying to build my first ever home server as a hobby) and i can use it easy.

I'm my sure that all of the tools that I use will run in Linux. I'm using Visual Studio to write Great Cow BASIC. I'll probably give it a try and see what happens. I have several pieces of software that are quite old (AutoCAD 2001, PhotoShop CS4, etc) that I keep around because they aren't the new subscription based everything you produce is ours bullshit. I guess I could run windows in a VM to run those.

Worth a shot, you can always dual boot to try it out to start with 🙂

You'll only get more comfortable with Linux once you get on it .
