I'm planning to format my laptop to free up space and hopefully fix some bugs. I've been thinking about ditching Windows altogether and switching to Linux. I have a decent modern laptop (it can run Elden Ring, so it should handle Linux fine!) and I primarily use it for gaming (mostly single-player and a few co-op games), 3D modeling in Blender, game development, and I'm also looking to dive into cybersecurity and digital art in the future.
I want to switch because I'm fed up with Windows taking up so much space, demanding my attention, and not respecting my privacy. I feel like it's bogging me down with features I never asked for. I just want an operating system that does what I want when I want it, and nothing more unless it's essential.
So, is Linux worth it for someone like me? Will it be more trouble than it's worth? And if it's a good fit, which distribution should I try?

Consider looking at other resources and user experiences as well. Make sure to find a distro that aligns with your priorities like disk space and privacy!
I just switched from Windows 11 to Kubuntu, and honestly, it's been great for me! If you're into a clean interface and good performance, it might be worth a shot.
Check out the migration page for more tips! Also, remember to be careful with root access and third-party software. It’s a good idea to verify checksums for your downloads, especially if you're concerned about security.
