For many (like myself) I had to dual boot into Linux years ago mainly because my higher end games did not work on Linux. As far as word processing and most other things, those all worked OK on Linux from way back already.
But with Steam Games I found that Euro Truck Sim 2, Read Dead Redemption II, Assetto Corsa, SnowRunner, etc were all working fine for me on Linux, and my full transition was just fine.
So if gaming is what still holds you back, this linked article may put some myths to rest for you. It’s true there may be some specific exceptions still, but for most users, Linux should just be fine nowadays as far as gaming goes. Yes, some of the latest Adobe products may still not work on it, but Adobe is pricing itself out of its market for non-professionals anyway.
