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 don’t know about switching completely, though I’m sure someone can fill in the blanks on that. What I have done, is I just built my wife a new windows PC and took her old one and turned it into a basic PC with Ubuntu on it for my 5 year old to play Minecraft on. So far it has worked wonderfully and has allowed me to learn more about Ubuntu and Linux without having to 100% switch off windows. I also have 2 raspberry pi’s that I have been learning Linux on as well. I’m too plugged into windows to make a total switch, but just my $.02. Good luck to you!
