The future of Linux
(lemmy.sdf.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I totally get it! Although I'm a few months a head of you. No more Windows for me. I used to run both using dual boot but after a while I got more and more into linux and learned to use it correctly. Then I realized there is much to control by yourself in a system rather than let windows to do it.
Just don't give up on Linux and try lot's of distros to find the best you need. I recommend Arch Or Debian 11. Debian 12 is still not a debian-standard distro in my experience.
I was thinking about going the Arch route, I really wanted to build up my system from scratch...
but then I was like "I'm too old for this sh*t", and I'm not even sure what I really want from my machine, so I was looking through distros... openSUSE was my other candidate, but I used Debian based systems and APT in the past 10 years... and I like the philosophy behind Debian, so installed Bookworm.
maybe, after a while when I know what I need, what I use and how I use them, will build my own Arch installation.
