Linux is doing good, check out linux ubuntu or linux mint if you want an easy transition from windows. It can do 98% of the stuff right out of the box, mint is especially impressive in this regard. Struggling with drivers for soundcards and stuff like that is a thing of the past with these OSes

I would not recommend Linux to a Windows user at all, because they prefer do do work on their computer instead of working on their computer. AMD OPENCL support is also spotty at best, and abysmal and non-functional at worst. If you want a Windows to Linux transition that's actually nice, Ubuntu with Unity 7 is better than mint because everything is right there, as Windows 7 or 10 would have it laid out. Mint has too many nested menus for my taste, and drop-down menus being deselected if you don't hover your mouse over them is a deal breaker for me. It's also a tad bland like Windows 10, Ubuntu with GDM or Unity at least looks interesting with transparency and dark mode.
