I switched two years ago and it’s mostly fantastic. You might “lack” something windows does because you are used to it, but you get a vast amount of choice in other features, depending on how much you try and experiment.

I recently moved to EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma and immeditately loved it, and so much of the UI is customizable by default and super easy. PoP!_OS just works, Mint or just Ubuntu are also often mentioned as nice picks.

Of course there might also be situtations where you have to look up solutions online because some software/hardware might not be automatically supported, but I personally can count the issues on one hand that took me longer than a few minutes to fix.

As someone else suggested, give dualboot a try and feel some different distros out. Could also just make a ventoy (fantastic tool) usb stick and try multiple distros very easily without fully installing.

I think as long as you don’t expect it to “be exactly like Windows” it could be great to switch.

Edit: it’s also much easier nowadays to use and/or to find solutions for isses i think. I tried ubuntu the first time in 2013 but it didn’t stick. Nowadays I could not imagine going back to Windows
