I may replace Windows as my daily driver with Linux.
I did. The first couple months were... An experience. But after getting used to all the different ways things work (many of which are, honestly, way better), it's quite, quite nice.
Some of my hardware even works better: the drawing tablet's drivers don't crash and the audio latency is much less!
Similar experience here. The first month was rough as I got everything installed and configured. But it's been pretty solid in the 4 months since then. I am glad I switched.
Curious what application you're using with that drawing app. My Huion wasn't great last time I gave Linux a shot on as my daily driver.
I switched around 2 years ago after using different distros on and off for a few years on an old laptop, and I've never been happier with my computing experience.
One thing I will say is you will have to find replacements for some of your favourite applications, but I've found that pretty much every alternative has been better. And if you need suggestions just ask the community or you can DM me.
Also just pick Mint or if you really have to Ubuntu(though I would definitely pick mint) as a first distro as that will give you the best out of the box experience and a beginner friendly community( unlike Arch's which I daily drive).
Then switch if you want a different distro( and I would suggest trying it out in a VM), just don't get a distro hopping addiction😆.
I already have a Raspberry Pi and a Linux VM for development reasons, but I also need Windows for that very same reason. Sometimes Windows APIs are much better than what we have on Linux (ALSA is a janky and laggy mess), and some dev tools are nicer there too (at least with VSCode, one can have some GUI for gdb).
You're 27 years late, according to my watch.
