I installed Linux Mint last week. I was waiting until I had a 2nd drive to install it on so I could still have windows if needed.
It was easier to install than windows ever was, and easier to find help to do the things I want. It makes a world of difference when your OS isn't actively fighting you all the time. I even had an easier time connecting to my media tower over the network (which is still on Windows) and accessing its files than I ever had trying to connect to it from a Windows machine.
I haven't touched my windows drive once since I installed Mint and I'm planning on taking it off to free up my SSD.
Just made the switch to pop os myself, all my games running fine even ff xiv which I was most worried about. Not sure why I didn't do this sooner. Come tax season I'll just spin up a windows vm for hrblock or whatever I decide to use.
