I swapped over when Windows 10 went EOL, haven’t looked back since.

The vast majority of what I do on my PC is browsing, media consumption or gaming. All three work just as well (if not better) for me.

LibreOffice does take some getting used to as the shortcuts and options are different to Excel - but it supports every function I’ve come across so far.

Give it a try, you can use a Live ISO to launch the OS from a flash drive to give it a try before committing to an install - both Linux Mint and Pop OS are meant to be great introductions for regular users. I wanted to predominantly play games so I went with Bazzite initially before switching to CachyOS.

Don’t stress too much about what the various distributions are, just think of it as a pre-set selection at a restaurant.
