About the microsoft thing : you’re absolutely right. Dual boot all you want, don’t go too fast and take your time. If you switch in five years so be it, if it’s sooner all the better. Don’t be afraid to distrohop to find what’s best for you. Oftentimes you start with a distro and end up with something else.
I started with Ubuntu in ~2006, never got to get my modem working with eagle-usb and had to abandon ship. Went back in 2009 with Fecora then OpenSuSE : was quite thrilled because it was way better than Win7 lite on an eeePC equivalent. Then switched PCs and against all odds really liked Windows 8.
I never quite got around Win 10 when it came out and slowly started looking at Linux again. Went through Zorin (best for starters!) then Mint, Debian, Ubuntu again, Fedora again, Pop!_OS, then quite find an interest in Manjaro but shit broke too often for me so I said “fuck it, it relies on Arch so how hard could it be?” (Spoilers : really hard when you try working with btrfs and LUKS and you’re quite a novice).
Finally I tried NixOS and thought that anyone who got time for that shit ain’t got life outside of that so went back to Arch.
Anyways I use arch btw and thanks for listening to my TED talk.
