And let me be clear right out of the gate. I don't pirate anything, those aren't just words. What I do instead is reject the entire entertainment establishment. I don't like them, I don't need them, they can go rot in hell as far as I am concerned. This is also why I have long been a GNU/Linux advocate.
I seriously need to learn to operate a basic Linux platform for my next Gaming Laptop. Not moving past Win10, my line in the sand with the tablet/app -ification of the functional, core desktop experience is a labotimization of computer literacy when it comes to self repair and looking "under the hood".
Linux Mint has a massive user base and user forums to go with it. It is arguably the best platform for a Windows user to transition to IMO. That said you should expect transition pain, while Linux Mint is great it is not Windows, you will have a learning curve, do not expect Linux Mint to be a drop in replacement.
I moved to LM in January of 2020 when Windows Seven went End Of Life and I haven't looked back. I was already a long time Linux advocate before that and well experienced with installing and testing Linux, so I was well primed for the permanent move.
When I built my current PC in 2020 I did not set it up for dual boot because I wanted a clean hard break from MS. However I suggest you start by making a USB boot stick to use as an introductory path to Linux. This stick will allow you to boot into Linux and see it for yourself. There are many online tutorials for how to do this.
I also suggest that you spend as much time as you need to get your ducks lined up before making any permanent move and if you can afford it to just put Linux on a new computer so that nothing can happen to your current computer.
There are ways that allow you to dual boot but the absolute safest way to transition is on a new computer. I only say this because I know any potential of losing work is a risk not worth taking for anyone. If you already have a lot of experience with installing and setting up Linux it is one thing but if you don't have that then absolute safety should be your only consideration.
Always has been, and with the increasing push into AI and its "need to learn" we will see many governments start to imminent domain anyone who refuses to feed the beast, claiming it for "the greater good."

Good luck finding a Linux / OSS distro that is not infected by DEI, faggotry and trannies.
Artix is openly antiwoke, supposedly. I don't have personal experience with it though.

How long will it take him to notice who owns those LLM companies?
