one of the copypastas for today before going:
Installing GNU/Linux won't solve your computer woes. It's not going to magically remove the anguish of being a non-technical person in a technical world. Although neckbeards give the impression that GNU/Linux "just works," it's not quite as simple as that. You'll still experience incompatibility and those irritating nuances associated with all forms of desktop computing. What you won't experience, however, is a lack of attention to details with the user in mind. If you're switching to a GNU/Linux solely because you're ticked off with Windows, no desktop environment will please you. However, if you're willing to make a change that will first be bumpy, but will eventually pay off in terms of overall satisfaction and enlightenment while computing, then you're ready for GNU/Linux. You can even use your existing computer without having to buy additional hardware. You have to be willing to change your entire perception of how desktop computing should be.
