I have a similar background as the author with OS starting with CP/M, MSDOS, DRDOS etc. I tried Fedora and then Red Hat, dual booted up through current Ubuntu. Windows 10 works fine and has recognized every device, old and new that I have plugged into it.
While I have no issues with running Linux, I don’t find it to be better than Windows 10. The last version of Windows that I bought was Windows 7 that came with a Dell computer I bought when Win 7 was brand new, my cost for Windows software is the same as Linux. I have skipped every other version of Windows since Win 98. I will skip Windows 11 and wait for the finished version, probably Windows 12.
The article did, however convince me to replace my current Ubuntu with Mint. I’ll miss Gnome Mahjong but I can always revert to my Windows 7 version.
Why a binary choice? Windows 10 could run a virtualized Linux or vica versa.

Mint is just Ubuntu with more features added and finer tuned. The Cinnamon is Gnome based. Mint forwards to the Ubuntu repository for all it’s apps. So everything Ubuntu is available for Mint. So you can still have your Gnome Majong...
