By skyforbes I decided on Fedora Workstation since it seemed to be the most "complete" distro that I found. Honestly, from just my first day of switching, it was all smooth sailing. I had very little issues and enjoyed using it. Considering that I don't use 90% of whatever UI and bloat that Windows had, Linux was a refreshing start since I didn't have to bother with the UI removing the things that were useless to me. On top of that, the customization actually allowed me to use my computer how I like it without feeling like a significant portion of my RAM and CPU is being used just to make it look different.
Navigation on Gnome also feels so much better than Windows. I have yet to try other DEs since I haven't had a reason to, because Gnome has pretty much everything I want. The Super shortcuts and window management is so much more intuitive and practical than on Windows. And the fact that I can choose to change the DE is an extra plus.
Don't even get me started on the games. Coming into Linux, I was told that there were barely any games on it. Yet literally the only games I can't play are the competitive TacFPS that I gave up playing long ago. I can still play every other game that I played on Windows. (TacFPS games aren't good for you anyways).
On Linux, my desktop is literally built to my liking. If I don't like something, I can change it without adding +1% to my CPU and RAM usage. I know I'm kind of repeating things here, but damn it's a big deal to me! Because customization on Windows felt so slow and bloated and I hated that.
The only problem I've had so far are the creatives software I used to use, but I found reasonable workarounds through Wine and FOSS alternatives. Albeit they don't work as well.
If any Windows users are reading this post, I HIGHLY recommend switching to Linux unless you're a professional FPS player or a professional artist.
