I got fed up with Windows and recently tried Linux Mint. In regards to ease of use it was like a breath of fresh air. Things just work inherently, and I didn't have to fight with it to remove bullshit I didn't want.

As for software compatibility I've mostly already had alternatives readily available. For other things the tools exist to make them compatible and don't take long to learn.

There is no reason not to recommend it to people who are getting annoyed with the enshittification of Windows.
