I swapped about a month ago. I'm running Ubuntu on desktop and openSuse Tumbleweed on laptop; both with KDE Plasma desktop environment, which makes the transition from windows easier. It's a little bit of a learning curve as the names of software packages are unfamiliar to me, but I'm liking it.

My partner who never even contemplated anything else but windows did some work on my computer and I expected questions and frustration from her, but alas she did what she needed to do and I doubt she even noticed.

Mind you, I don't really do gaming.

Even gaming is good on Linux now. Until you use the minimum softwares portfolio it's okay. But if you are a content creator or if you need many softwares for your work it's better to keep windows. After years of testing and trying to swap, Linux still have issues with hardware compatibility and version update (without reinstalling all the stuff) on my concern. And it will never replace windows cause the software library is too small. I am not saying that is not polish or easy it just depends what you need to do with.
