Should I switch to Linux? (alien.top)

Been a long time Windows user but with each Windows version, I hate it more. So bloated and locked in. I saw that mint is a good beginner distribution but its not supported by framework. Is Ubuntu really different from Windows with a higher learning curve?

Talk me out of wasting hours to get linux working when Windows works out-of-the-box

Just install Fedora, half the issues with other distro's will trip up a beginner, Fedora just works, minimal issues and because it's mostly upstream it doesn't have strange patches that cause issues.

It's also a very boring distro, barely any changes made for the sake of branding, regular updates and stable versions of the software.

One last thing, it's the community version of the biggest Enterprise Linux a test bed for new things before they hit Ubuntu etc.
