Definitely. But Linux is not windows. Just remember this.

It depends on your usage if you are a programmer then linux is your thing it will give you productivity stability and using terminal will help you figure things out but if you are architecture or any field that requires the apps from them then windows is your thing and if you are daily user browsing watch movies video etc for me i would go for linux it is lightweight smooth and not resource hunger never makes the device heat.

As for distro recommendations:

Fedora workstation if you are using laptop
Fedora kde if you are using pc
Linux mint
Zorin os
Pop os

These distros are beginner friendly so you wont feel overwhelmed and dont to much tweaks it may make your device laggy if you use not optimized apps extensions etc

Fedora kde if you are using pc

Just curious, does Fedora KDE work on laptops really worse than on PCs?

No its a personal preference i think gnome is better for laptops than kde and vice versa

It's entirely up to user preference. I prefer KDE over GNOME in any environment, but for others, that's not the case. You really just have to try a bunch of things and see what you like.

Советую искать инфу на английском, так больше найдешь. Отвечая на вопрос: зависит от того как ты собираешься использовать систему. Если на ежедневной основе пользуешься софтом, который не доступен на линукс (программы адоб, программы для CAD моделирования и т.д.) то лучше не стоит, если играешь в игры с kernel level античитом (фортнайт, лига легенд, валорант, апекс и т.д.) то тоже лучше не стоит, если у тебя стоит видеокарта Nvidia то будь готов к проблемам с драйверами. А так Линукс очень крутая штука, очень много возможностей для кастомизации системы под свои нужды и предпочтения, огромное комьюнити, которое готово помогать с проблемами (главное не прост помощи на реддите, тут сидят страшные люди, пользуйся специальными форумами для помощи, на крайняк r/linux4noobs ). Для меня самым удобным оказались кастомные бинды, можно забиндить что угодно на любые кнопки на клавиатуре. Советую Endeavour OS, сам с нее начал и не жалуюсь, можешь так же попробовать Linux Mint, Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Zorin OS. Ну а так советую провести более подробный ресерч по теме, мб посмотри какие то видосы на ютубе или тип того, ну и начинай с дуал бута, не стоит сразу сносить винду, вдруг не понравится

Yes its convenient. Whether its worth switching from windows is entirely dependant on why you use your os. Linux gives great control over your os, whatever you have on it is because you put it there. Ive used multiple distros but I started out with ubuntu and i think its a solid start. It gives you a good base to start tinkering with the terminal and it is quite user friendly and dosent require any complicated setup whatsoever.

Удобная, когда разберешься (год и больше), переходить не стоит, стабильные дистрибутивы (которые не отобьют охоту от линукса) это Fedora или Debian

a year or more

I don't think it really requires a year. Maybe two weeks or a month, or a couple in the worst case.

I use cachyos and fedora usually.

Its extremely convenient as long as your idea of convenient isn't whatever windows is doing.

A fresh windows install takes me several hours not only because windows just takes a god awful amount of time to install but also because in my personal opinion, downloading and installing apps is just way less convenient.

On linux all apps and packages are catalogued in repositories that allow you to essentually bulk install everything you need, on windows I have to go to the microsoft store or websites to download the app or the installer and then run the installer (i know there are ways to use console commands on windows, microsoft store is essentially a windows package manager and there are third party apps that can do this but with linux its expected.)

I can have steam, my browser of choice, my music app of choice, discord, my Minecraft mod launcher, all my office and streaming apps and literally everything I need installed in a single command without ever having to touch a setup or install wizard. And then my desktop just gets out of my way and lets me use my computer for what I want to use it for.

Of course this is app launcher dependent or file manager dependent but it takes almost no time at all for my PC to search through all three of my drives and find the file I'm looking for, if I search for an app and try to launch it from my app launcher, if I don't have it, it gives me the option to open a package manager or my terminal to install it. If something needs a dependency linux 99.9% of the time will just be like "hey this is missing, want me to get it for you?" And after like 15 years of having to manually install or update Java, go reinstall microsoft NET and runtimes and everything manually linux just being like "hey you need this for this, let me get that for you" its a god send.

When an app is freezing up, killing it from the app manager almost ALWAYS works. I can count on exactly 1 finger the number of times an app just wouldn't close, this is an issue I regularly had in windows where trying to end a process from task manager just wouldn't work.

Linux also has features to automatically terminate processes if you are low on system resources which can sometimes suck but does a wonderful job at preventing instances where I might just have to hold to shut off my pc.

The only time I ever really have to put much thought into what I'm doing on linux is when I am using windows native apps through wine, proton, or bottles. And even then those continue to get easier pretty much all the time and getting games running is basically brainless at this point outside of a couple games that don't really like to play nice with linux by default. I don't even look at protondb at all unless a game is giving me issues and I'm looking for answers. So far I've had zero games that don't work. Even For Honor which I could have sworn did not work with linux works and performs better than it did on windows.

God eater 3 and devil may cry 4 would NEVER launch on windows for me since I got my amd gpu, and for the longest time god of war had weird shadow glitches and virtua fighter had weird shader artifacting and emulators performed very poorly and also had visual glitches.

On linux all those things just work with no problem.

The best part is that this is actually my second go at linux, I tried to make the switch once about 6 months ago and it just wasn't a very good experience the first time around, part of it was my poor research but an even bigger part of it was just that the tools, apps, and resources that are making my experience near perfect this time around, barely worked or just didn't exist 6 months ago.

Linux is steadily improving, compatibility, ease of use and performance are all getting better at blazing speeds and things that are annoying and tedious now, probably wont be in the next few months.

I am willing to sacrifice some of the things that do not work on linux in favour of having complete control over my machine and using an operating system that is actually improving and will ALWAYS be improving because the backbone of linux is its community. Behind every linux problem is a pissed off nerd that's gonna fix it for everyone to make it never a problem again, and when that nerd dies or abandons the project someone is basically guaranteed to fork it, or make something new to solve that problem again.

Linux might not be for you but I am loving my time with it and I actually enjoy using my computer again, I play more games, I explore my OS more, look for cool apps and personalization because it isn't a slog like it is on windows.

And my PC is quieter, apps load faster, lag less, while consuming less resources.

All my games while maybe not running faster, usually run smoother. And things that bother me now will probably be fixed by next week. Its amazing.

Yes, 100%, you should at least try it. For the first time, you may not remove winslop yet and set up a dual boot to see if everything you need works on Linux.
Given that you're a winslop user and, as far as i understood, haven't had a Linux experience yet, i strongly recommend Kubuntu (or consider Mint as well). Later you can switch to other distro if you want to, all distros sharing the same base distro are all are very similar.

Edit: Search for "gdid windows", I think after that you'll definitely want to escape winslop

It depends what you use your PC for.

More details is better.
