I will be, too, sometime next year. instead of just doing the regular reset of windows, which as I recently learned is now an absolute pain in the ass instead of something quick and easy, I'm going to be switching over to Linux

I'm sure I'll still keep a windows PC around, but I'm pretty fed up with Microsoft just being so goddamn shitty at designing an OS for user experience

Why not now? Do you use the computer for school or work?

Linux is very easy to try, without even installing it. You can load Linux Mint on a USB thumb drive, then the hardest part is setting your BIOS to boot from it.
