I really ought to switch my main pc to Linux.
11 made me make that switch. My main gaming / media machine is still on W10 and will be until it dies. Then I'll finally invest in figuring out gaming on Linux.
But for day to day browsing and development. Ubuntu has been excellent and is much more snappy than windows. I also picked up a cheap ancient MacBook pro for interviews and it's a solid machine as well.
No regrets so far.
Do it today.
I switched to Bazzite on my main PC at the start of September and it's been great. I only use Windows for steam link vr streaming
Fedora on kde is nice.
Second Fedora, prefer Cosmic or Gnome tho.
The most Windows-like desktop(and more) on Linux is KDE, second maybe to Cinnamon, and XFCE if we're talking XP-ish and classic.
On Linux, your underlying system is not reliant on your GUI. They are not bonded in any sense, and the GUI can be any number of different programs, known as Desktops.
You can run a Ubuntu system with the KDE desktop, or the Gnome desktop, Unity, or XFCE, or Cinnamon... or maybe two or three at once and choose at login! he's a madman!
I like how GNOME looks, I've messed around with it a little on my laptop.
