I’ve been a Linux user for 10 years, and even I find this article intimidating.
Getting into Linux isn’t that hard! You download it, put it on a USB drive to try it out, and mess around with it. If you like what you see you install it. If you come across any errors (like drivers or audio or such) you just google it.
Coping with Windows, auto updates and blue screens is far harder than Linux.
Not to mention the AV, anti-malware, etc you need to master just to keep it safe.
I started using UNIX in 1978 or so. I use both Windows and Linux now. Linux still has problems dealing with video, audio and printing. Other than that it is fast and stable as can be.
I have not seen a blue screen in 10 years... what version of Windows are you running?
