Say goodbye to your free time. Linux is a huge rabbit hole.
In a good sense
And just for the first couple of days. Once you set it up it works like any other OS. I don't think most people change the way their pc works every other day. Once you get the hang of it it stays mostly the same. This year I changed full from w10 to mint and no issues since.
Yeah there’s a ton of stuff to learn. I’ve got some experience from my college courses but I want to get ahead before I take the ones that really test my Linux knowledge.
I don't agree. It depends really on what you're using it for. I have one machine with Xubuntu installed and it's been used just for browsing or putting movies to the tv and it's been just plug and play so far.
There was the one issue, of not being able to use some streaming services, because of drm protection meaning you can only stream via their windows desktop app not via browser. I took it as an invitation for streaming the stuff from somewhere else for free shrug
