Should I switch to Linux? (alien.top)

Been a long time Windows user but with each Windows version, I hate it more. So bloated and locked in. I saw that mint is a good beginner distribution but its not supported by framework. Is Ubuntu really different from Windows with a higher learning curve?

Talk me out of wasting hours to get linux working when Windows works out-of-the-box

Fedora works great and it'll bring most features as it's getting updates as soon as they are stable.

You need to know basic knowledge like setting up flatpak for your software, bottles for windows software and knowledge about not being able to use many usb devices that need software.

I'm on Linux for 2 years now because of the same reasons and I'm happier than ever. It can get annoying sometimes but it's worth it, windows is more annoying.
