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

Can confirm, Matt is awesome supporting Linux. The guides are excellent and my FW 13 with AMD 7840 was up and running the way I like it with Ubuntu 22.04 and Unity very quickly. If you're going to try Linux, Framework's an excellent choice of machine to do it on. You won't find this kind of support in many other places.
