@shansterable @PurpleJillybeans once you're happy you can exist on Linux, consider moving your main machine to Linux - but first make comprehensive backups! You can then install VirtualBox on your Linux system & (only slightly illegally) install Windows on it, so it runs *within* your Linux system. You can use it for most apps that depend on Linux, and just treat it as another window on your Linux desktop.

@lightweight @shansterable @PurpleJillybeans this is sound advice.

Regarding the ease of install:
My wife (who is not at all into tech and wants a computer to "just work") tried installing Ubuntu for a project, and - following an online guide she found - she'd made a bootable USB and gotten the system fully up and running in about 30 minutes total.
