how easy is linux? i see so many memes now and i wanna switch but I'm not confident in it

It's pretty easy imo if you start with a Debian distro

Start by exploring Linux Mint or ZorinOS.. Both are optimized to feel like Windows.. You can watch YouTube videos about them to understand what I mean

I mean.... More computers run Linux or gun hurd than virtually any other OS at this point... Virtually every phone, virtually every smart device -- my smart light bulbs run Linux! My ptz camera ran Linux! A lot of smart televisions run Linux!

Linux itself does nothing for desktop computing, you also need GNU and the rest of the free software suit to better the world
