You have to make up your own mind on it, but I think most of us who do are ultimately glad to distance ourselves from windows. Not everyone is willing/able to make the switch, there’s a lot of reasons people cannot or may not want to. It looks & feels fairly similar to windows. You’d be using the same software on linux, in which case you’ll be totally familiar with it on day one.Īs for desktop environment, I’d highly recommend KDE as the desktop with the lowest learning curve coming from windows.
So if you use your time now to work libreoffice and other portable software into your daily workflow and distance yourself from windows specific software&tech, it’ll be that much easier to make the transition in the future. But if you are able to start by becoming accustomed to running FOSS software on windows, switching from windows to linux becomes much easier. If you need specific windows software, then I concede linux may not be right for you. I for one think desktop linux looks better every year, especially given the direction microsoft is plotting for windows (ie more ads and less control).
So, what’s next? Desktop Linux still sucks and Windows 8.1 (which I run in all my computers) will get EOLed in 2023.
