It was extremely easy when I did it. Had everything running in 20 min.
The real drag was me wanting to use a more efficient file system, so I spent a day converting my drives to ext4.
The main problem for most people when installing Linux is partitioning. Normies usually only use Windows that has been pre-installed, and never install Windows from scratch.
I think you should try Linux on a VM first to get used to it.
It’s pretty straight forward if you don’t do anything else, get a fresh new drive just for it. I’ve been using Mint for a few weeks now and honestly other than some glitch i keep experience here and there(steam store page is noticeably slower and laggier for some reason, and sound glitch that require restart to get rid of) and some initial setup fiddling to suit me, i really doesn’t notice any different than what i’ve been doing in win10.
At some point, I need to get around to installing Mint on my desktop. Maybe this weekend, but probably not.

Zorin and Cachy are great choices too, but Mint is awesome as well. Anything but Windows 11 lol
Do it this weekend.

I’ve got a Windows 11 laptop as well, so it’s not a big issue if I brick the machine.
I’m just gonna jump in head first. When I get around to it.

Yeah, my pc has been sitting around for over two months. I think I’m gonna go with Cachy on my machine, just need to find some time 😫
I went with cachy a few weeks ago, and its been great.
