Hello, I am wondering if I could get a stranger on the internet to let me know if I should use Linux. I just wish more people would literally just say "Use Linux".

Don't know if this is a useful perspective, I switched to Linux about 2 weeks ago, coming from windows all my life, and most recently win10. It's been tough, it seems like you can do anything you want, but you're gonna spend many an hour troubleshooting early on for sure, and if you don't have some amount of command line experience that's gonna suck

You've been using Windows all your life. It will take time to be comfortable with Linux since it's a different workflow, that's normal.
