Seconding that, made the switch and nothing broke since(almost 2 months now, o) . Can’t say that for windows tho, where not only auto updates meant I had to wait half an hour to use my PC half of the time or disable them and not be up to date with security, but the OS itself was riddled with problems, sometimes just opening Firefox with a few tabs (like 4 or so) would bsod (and I have 16 gigs of ddr4 ram, so it wasn’t a ram problem) not to mention now that I’m on Mint everything is faster, I didn’t have to pay a license key and I know my OS isn’t trying to fight me for my data.
Thanks for your addition! It is working fine for me, but I may have changed the config a bit from the default, don’t remember everything. I have default tiling now and that works really well.
how easy is linux? i see so many memes now and i wanna switch but I’m not confident in it
Linux Mint is easier to use than Windows

It’s pretty easy imo if you start with a Debian distro
You can easily try it out by booting from usb.
Start by exploring Linux Mint or ZorinOS… Both are optimized to feel like Windows… You can watch YouTube videos about them to understand what I mean
At the risk of analysis paralysing you… But if you have an Nvidia video card, I would start with Pop!_OS

If you have an NVIDIA video card, I would start with buying AMD or Intel instead. Attempting to use NVIDIA with Linux will result in misery.
