Smells like Microsoft air in here... A bit stale, dirty, corporate vibe.

Windows users have no idea what they are missing out on by avoiding Linux.

Honestly, I'm afraid of how complicated it sounds and have no idea where to begin.

The only difficult part is getting Linux on to a USB stick. After that, you boot your computer from the USB stick and click next, next, next until it's done. It's super easy.

There are guides how to burn a iso file with the Linux distinction to a USB stick too. Just start there, see if you can do that as step one.

As for Linux distro, pick something common and easy, like Pop OS or Fedora.
