i don't really have a reason to, as windows mostly just works, I'm wondering what benefits and downsides there are. will definitely dual boot at the beginning, but I'd be willing to fully move over if i like it

thanks guys :)

edit: also if there's some recourse y'all could point me to so i can get some baseline knowledge on this stuff, that would be fantastic

I've installed Linux mint on almost everyone's computer that I play IT for. My grandparents never really noticed the difference between it and Windows 7 they had before. My mom pretty much only uses the browser so she doesn't really care. It's funny that I use Windows on my desktop. I'm a gamer and I can't even play most of my games on Linux (competitive first person shooters). But my laptop, steam deck, and servers all run Linux.
