I've been decidedly very happy using Linux Mint the past few years. I switched to it from Win7 many years after support for it finally dropped, prompted by a lack of driver support for new hardware I'd acquired. I don't do a lot of heavy media production tasks, and most of my use-cases involve using a web browser or playing video games. For all of the complaints one can have about Valve Software, they've made incredible contributions to the Linux ecosystem via Proton, and I've found that either with their in-house releases or Glorius Eggroll's custom fork, I've been able to play all but a few games from my Steam library.
The transition to Linux from Windows 7 wasn't completely effortless for me, but it went far smoother than I'd expected from my prior experience with Ubuntu back in the 2010's. It felt like a much better option to me than moving to Windows 10, and as such I've already largely settled into a (hopefully) more sustainable OS setup than Microsoft's increasingly-iresome design path.
While I know Linux is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it does lack support for a number of utilities and services many people enjoy and rely on, I would encourage anyone considering to give Linux a try. As others already have, I would recommend Linux Mint as a relatively friendly entrypoint.
