That really depends on what you use your PC for. Are you deep into Microsoft Office suite? Do you play games such as PUBG, Battlefield 6 or other multiplayer games with a particular infringing anti-cheat? Maybe you use software from Adobe? Then no.

Otherwise, installing Linux is easy, if you know how to create a bootable USB-stick.

As a beginner, I would recommend Linux Mint.

    I second Mint.

    I used some EoL laptops around our warehouse with Mint installed so people could search stuff they needed, that was mostly web-based, and nobody really complained about anything not working. A few figured it out pretty well, a few said "it looks different" without really understanding what they're using.
