Should I switch to Linux? (alien.top)

Been a long time Windows user but with each Windows version, I hate it more. So bloated and locked in. I saw that mint is a good beginner distribution but its not supported by framework. Is Ubuntu really different from Windows with a higher learning curve?

Talk me out of wasting hours to get linux working when Windows works out-of-the-box

Try it.

If you have another device, try installing it on that.

Otherwise you could try a dual boot on a device but that sometimes confuses things if you need to fix your Windows install.

If you have enough resources on your PC you could install a virtualization solution (I have used VirtualBox for years) to create a virtual machine upon which you can try out various Linux distros without affecting your main Windows install.
