I am/was all Windows, Yes I agree as well there a lot of distro's some have better this or that but with a downside to xyz,... But same could be said with Windows too. You have options for Win7 Win8 and Win10, Home Professional Enterprise yada yada, all from 1 manufacture. Linux is open sourced so many variations, with various levels of support and mostly from the community. There are enterprise Linux systems that offer paid support services...
I too struggle with CLI at time but thats the way its going.. I use a MAC from time to time and I find configurations and settings are easier using terminal. Windows = Powershell and if your using a server OS the CORE install is all Powershell...
Linux is new to me, LinuxLite is a great OS IMO, it is different but its not like your setting IRQ's and Dip switches![Wink Wink](https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/images/smilies/wink.png)
I wouldn't kill all my Windows systems today in favor of Linux - but 1 of each or some VM's to better understand and learn to lessen headaches - gotta have 1 unmolested ready to use PC.
VM's are a great way to compare distro's as well - hardware is basic and is less stressful to get out of trouble - snapshot make it real easy.
Please don't take my rant as negative...
