You can get a linux system preloaded by System76 (Ubuntu systems) or ZaReason (Pretty much any linux system you might want) if you want to go that route. If you’re not certain, you can download and install a linux system to a USB drive to try it out and see if it is what you’d like to do. I cut the Windows cord many years ago and haven’t looked back.
BFL. i haven't checked their pricing recently.
