I've been happy with Linux since 2008-ish. I still have to use Windows at work, which reminds me why I made the right decision. :)

Can you please explain why Linux appeals to you? I’ve had Ubuntu as my main operating system since 2014 but I still largely prefer Windows or OSX.

Not op. I've used Linux, Ubuntu and Mint, since 2011 as my primary system. I rarely game, so WINE takes care of the few titles I'm interested in for me. The video editing software is perfect for my needs. The media players can be configured to the way I want my library read and stored. Audio and photo editing are also top notch. The system works, and we'll, and with few errors. I'm free to do as I want on my system and with my system, without worrying about permissions, or advertisements. And I feel a little less open to security issues with a solid system and good protocols. I'm aware that doesn't work for everyone, but I do think more people should try it.

Sure, freedom and the lack of restrictions.

I've used Windows (XP/98), MacOS (1996-ish), Geos (C64/C128), and they are/were good OS's back then (IMHO). Oddly, what got me into Linux was Microsoft adding DRM restrictions to things like recording video. I then decided to see what Linux was about, and years later here I am today. :)

I should note, anyone wanting to try another OS, should not to go cold turkey. Having a second OS to bounce between is a good idea to gradually move towards that OS.

Since you use Ubuntu (I assume you still do), you may want to try other distro’s such as Linux Mint, Manjaro. Of course, use the live images without installing. There are a couple of Youtube channels you may want to look at as well: Chris Titus Tech, Switched To Linux

Finally, it’s a matter of preference. If Windows (for example) works best for you, keep using Windows.
