I’m curious as to what everyone’s reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I’d say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

    I use a browser and Notepad and that’s pretty much all I do on my PC. I do so little with it that learning how to use a new operating system seems far more effort than it’s worth.

      Sounds like you’re a prime candidate to move over. You don’t need to learn anything if you don’t do anything outside of what you’ve listed.

        This! There are plenty of distributions that cater directly to these use cases, Linux Mint for example, which is a decent recommendation for people just coming over from Windows and just want to browse the web or take notes for school. It has a familiar layout and most things you’d care about can be configured or setup with easy to use menus like how you’re used to with windows.
