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

KDE is awesome, and what Windows should be inspired by, not the other way round! But yes, people can be really opinionated about which desktop they use 😉

Luckily many distributions let you easily install multiple desktops and switch at the login screen. No need to reinstall.

I wouldn't recommend installing multiple DEs yet for a beginner.

I would. E.g. on Fedora it's not difficult.
