Not even going down that track, I've been messing with Linux for 15yr and happy to say about 2yr ago switched to Linux mint daily driver and not going back. Can do everything I need to:

Work (teams, prospect mail for Outlook, zoom, etc)

Gaming (Steam and Proton make playing 95% games a reality and actually works great surprisingly)

Music Production (Bitwig - truly awesome DAW very comparable to Ableton live - no BS actually is a TRUE contender and great and stable DAW, by far the best ever used in Linux)

Windows 11 can suck it

For everyday user (browser, light office, photo management, tv/movie streaming) it is already as viable as windows as a daily driver.

Once it is installed and up and running. But then most windows users haven't installed windows themselves so that is almost a moot point. It is first when you get into "specialty" software linux viability drops.
