you can just dual boot linux next to Windows and switch to Windows when needed. I really like my linux fedora - way more than windows or macos.
What do i like about it?
it’s very easy to work with multiple virtual desktops
it looks way more beautiful and is more fun to work with
extentions make it very customizable, e.g. in the top left I can see the title and artist of the current song playing.
the feeling of of not being spied on, at least on the os level, I still think online is a lot of tracking
the apps are open source and trustable and do just what they are suppoesed to do and nothing more
there is an app to download youtube videos (parabolic)
the audio player is very beautiful and minimalistic - I miss it on windows (amberol)
the app solanum is a timer app just for the pomodoro time management method. It helped me a lot
for notes I use Joplin, which does the job reliable. But I have to admit that I liked working with OneNote more, since it has more functionality and way better pen support.
Regarding office was my experience that MS Office is still better if you have to make an presentation or want to work at the same document at the same time. For basic office work LibreOffice is fine. I would use OnlyOffice if you want better compatibility with MS Office.
I booted windows only if I had to do a presentation or work with an Windows exclusive programm. But most of the time (around 90-95%) I used happily Linux Fedora. I use it for note taking, listening to music, browsing the web and reading & marking PDFs.
I use Firefox as my primary browser but it has sometimes problems with some videos. Then I switch to Brave which does not have those issues. I general I think Linux needs some time to get used to and wants to be discoverd. It’s not that difficult as it may sound but probably wont be a without some learning curve and looking some things up online. I recommend doing it since my user experience has been much better than on windows or macos - plus the privacy thing :)
