I will be switching to Linux once my laptop is obsolete!!! I will only be getting Linux stuff from there on in!!! :-)
Why wait? Linux Mint will run the shit out of your laptop right now.
Try Pop OS Cosmic (Like MacOS) and Linux Mint Cinnamon (Like Windows) they are both amazing. They are both customizable to look however you want too
I can add that in my experience, switching to Linux tends to have a positive impact on performance and keep the laptop usable for longer, I highly recommend you try it with your current laptop.
I've got machines that are obsolete for even Windows 10 that run Linux just fine. The best time to start is now.
If you have a drive where you can back up your stuff before installing a new OS, there's no need to wait.
