I feel like this is one of those calls that get so repeatedly people get numbed.
Something along the lines of climate change, economic crisis, etc.
They are all true, but people are passivated.
For real though; GET THE DAMN LINUX. SPIN IT UP IN A VM. TRY THE LIVE VERSION. DUAL BOOT IT WITH WINDOWS. YOU LOSE NOTHING, WINDOWS IS STILL THERE. JUST TRY IT FOR ONCE.
It is painful to see people struggle with things that are easily solved.
I ripped the bandaid off a month or so ago. Went with LMDE. Haven't looked back. Steam runs all my games through Proton just as good as they ran on Windows, if not better.

European Union users

I'm morbidly eager to see how they'll handle the Win 10 EoL (yeah, yeah, it ain't dyin', just not getting updated, same thing to me tbh) in October. I bet it'll be a shitshow.

Wanted to play a game on my kid's computer that had windows 11 N or some shit. Couldn't play because it needed the "media pack", which in its turn installs everything N stands for. Clown world.
Too little too late? Some European businesses have already made the change to open source. Shit should be free to anyone doing business with it anyway.
