I remember in the beginning when leaving windows how quiet everything was. No notifications from windows about all kinds of shit, no ads and no interruptions. Have you noticed how calm it feels?
Assuming it isn’t you first time: there’s a slight learning curve, but once you’re passed a few months and you’ve resolved a few issues on your own you won’t look back!
Look into KDE extensions to customize your desktop just the way you want it! My windows wobble around or fizzle out of existence when I close them. :)
My first introduction to Linux was back in College in 2005. I ended up doing it off college but I’ve messed with Linux on and off over the years. A few months back I put GalliumOS on my Chromebook and I’ve done all sorts of stuff with the Raspberry pi. I wouldn’t say I’m proficient in the slightest and I know very few terminal commands but I think I can manage.
I just wiped Windows from my main PC the other day and put Linux Mint on there. Feels good man.

I’ve been trying to distance myself from large corporations. It’s a slow process but I’m on the way.
Good on you mate, and welcome aboard!

Oh, you’ll be fine then. Haven’t used Mint personally, but I’ve heard good things about it! Always reach out for help.
I’ve federated my server with a lot of Linux content so I’m pretty much surrounded on Lemmy.
Hello, I want you to know that Linux Mint has some issues:
That being said, you may want to give Ubuntu officials a try instead.
