People have vastly different requirements / acceptance critera from each other. grab another disk and try dual booting and poking around.
this year, 95% of my time at my workstation is on fedora 42, 4 percent win11 (software testing purposes), 1% win10 (also testing purposes).
There's no productivity sw keeping me from switching away, which is nice to be able to say. Five years ago, I wouldn't have found it so easy.
Yeah, that is what I have decided to do. Not least just to test how compatible my hardware is. I may need a new GPU since my current one is nvidia, but as far as I understand it, it may still be able to run.
If its a recent GPU (rtx 30 series and up), it should be pretty usable today even under the newer display server (wayland).
Hope it works out for you.
