I looked at my Windows install one day and realized over half the programs I use are open source anyway. With Proton taking care of the few games I actually give a shit about, I don’t miss Windows at all in the last four years.

I actually got into Linux like 23 years ago but never fully made the jump myself and delete my Windows partition until 2019. Always dual-booted until then.

I personally think KDE is the best Windows-lookalike desktop environment on Linux if you want something that looks familiar.
