You should do what makes you happy, but you've made a few of assumptions in these comments. The Linux of today is a lot more stable and user friendly than the linux of a decade ago. I installed Linux Mint a few months ago, easier to install than windows. It installed all drivers with no issues, without added input from me, worked perfectly from day 1. It as faster and more stable. Was basically a 5 minute install. I'm not a linux fanboy, I basically moved because windows 11 is malware and i didn't want to upgrade past win 10, it was requiring more maintenance than linux. Windows is no longer software as a service, it's made all of your data the product to sell everything to companies and governments, just like social media. By all means stay off Linux if you don't think you'll like it.

There is a word for intrusive, unwanted software that intervenes in your work to advertise or engage you in unwanted interaction. The same word describes software that constantly monitors and exfiltrates what’s going on between you and your data.

I don't so much love Linux as hate Windows 11.

I installed Linux on my roommates PC a couple years ago. Ubuntu. It took me a fucking week to get everything working.

I have not made a single assumption.

Also I don't so much love windows as hate Linux. It's unusable for the average person yet people keep screaming how they should move.
