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

If you are going to try out different distros is handy to have a usb stick with ventoy.

Flash it once and then just copy isos to it for all the distributions you want to try out

Fedora is what I recommend people start with these days

I agree with both statements! Ventoy is amazing for distro hopping between Live USBs! And Fedora has a nice vanilla implementation of Gnome as well as being a rolling release, has the latest kernel to support the latest hardware such as what's on the FW13.
