Moving to Linux sounds cool and is cool until you realize 2 things, one, you can fuck yourself in ways you didn't know possible.

2, windows is dominant and you will lose access to a fair portion of games immediately upon switching.

Unless you really need to lower background bloat, develop code, or got something vehemently against windows, its not worth the swap for 90%+ of the population, you will go back.

I didn't mind the learning curve, realizing the sheer amount of programs and games that have no development plan for Linux was what made me swap back.
