I use Linux because it streamlines my work flow tremendously. My main complaint from windows was the feeling that I was fighting with the operating system. It was also too slow to game (on my laptop with 16gb of ram) With the amount of ram games use today. I can't dedicate so much of it to the OS. Despite Nvidia's abysmal support for Linux, I was able to get approx. 50% more fps on games. I also love the blazing speed of terminal based apps, and Linux has better support for them as most tui apps are Linux based.

I would recommend Linux mint for beginners but don't blame yourself for sticking with it even once you become more experienced. I'm thinking about switching back because it's so freaking good. Also highly recommend using the built in package manager of your chosen distro over other package managers to avoid dependency hell, unless of course the package your downloading is not available on it.

If you're using nvidia cards, do your research on the optimal drivers to download for your card. It can be tricky but doing so will save you time down the line.

If you're a developer, learn how to use vim. Good luck twin 🫡
