I'm exploring whether there's a user-friendly version of Linux out there to try, especially since I'm dealing with some issues on Windows. I've got a lot of Windows files on my computer, and I want to avoid redownloading apps like Discord and a few games from Itch, along with some Blender files. Is there an easy way to make this transition without losing my stuff?

Usually, Linux can't run Windows files directly. There is software called WINE that gives it a go, but results can vary. For Discord and Blender, they have their own Linux versions you can easily install. Also, if you tell me what games you have, I can help figure out if they'll work on Linux. Just remember, switching operating systems is like switching to Mac; there will be some adjustments.
You know, if you're new to files in Linux, it might be a bit tricky at first. You'll need to download apps separately, including Discord, since they don't run the same way as on Windows. But don't worry, your Blender files and many games can work. If you're looking for a good starting point with Linux, I'd recommend trying Ubuntu.
Transitioning to Linux is a significant change since it's totally different under the hood compared to Windows. You'll need to install different versions of apps like Discord and Blender for Linux. As for your games, let me know which ones, and I can help check their compatibility. If you're looking for a friendly interface, I suggest Zorin OS. It can be set up to feel a bit like Windows.
Think of it this way: Windows files aren't going to just work on Linux like they do on Windows. It's like trying to run an iPhone app on Android. You might need Linux-compatible versions of what you want or use tools like Proton or virtual machines to help. Some Windows games work with special software like WINE, but it's a bit of a mixed bag.
