M$ wants to keep you hooked.
The popular Linux versions listed in link posted above are about as easy to learn as the Mac OS. You can see this all on YouTube.
I can run all 3 but dismissed Apple as just too proprietary and pricey. Linux is FREE.

Pretty interesting watch. I've always been interested in Linux but I'm just too ingrained in the Windows ecosystem

Started with Slackware back in 1992. What a PITA to get it working with i386 hardware. It's come a long way but it heavily depends on what software you're using and what you might have to support. I usually need 2 machines, as Linux does not support 90% of the professional software that I need to know for consulting. There is a reason why Windows has a 70-80% of market share of business desktops.

The world basically runs on Linux, while desktops are with Microshit. It's too bad because Linux is so much more efficient.
