Every other Windows distro is okay, since XP. XP ->7 ->10. I'm holding out for 12 because 11 blows, but...Linux looks more attractive every day.
I dropped windows on my gaming rig after they decided I could not opt out of co-pilot easily. So I opted out of paying them.
I finally took the plunge and installed Mint about a week ago. It's definitely better.
I partitioned my hard drive so I have both systems available. If everything goes well with Mint for the next few months, I'll just wipe Windows entirely.
If there's nothing specific holding you to Microsoft's ecosystem, you should go for it.
Congrats! Be aware that Windows loves to wipe foreign bootloaders though. If your computer suddenly can't boot Mint anymore but goes right into Windows, that's another way of MS screwing with you.
I have heard that. I'm backing up everything that's important.
I've installed Mint and Ubuntu before (over a decade ago), and would manage. I remember having a lot of issues with drivers back then. I'd also be putting it on an HP Spectre x360, and I hear there are some difficulties booting linux because of a firmware issue.
