Sam Medley of NotebookCheck News tells his experience with moving from Windows 11 to Linux on all his machines at home: a laptop, a desktop, and a media PC.

@amoroso I think the average user switching from Windows to Linux should go with Mint.
I work at a Windows shop, and I switched to Debian two years ago (with my IT manager's permission). Most Microsoft apps work through the web fine (ie: Teams, Outlook) and LibreOffice is so compatible with MS Office that I can edit work documents right on my desktop.
For the few applications that have no Linux alternative (ie: SQL Management Studio), I use QEMU/KVM to run a Windows 11 virtual machine.
I've been extremely happy to get off Windows 11 - that is a slow, buggy and snitchy operating system!

@VA3DSO Mint is my distro too.
@amoroso Moving from Windows 11 to Linux? Pardon, but I can't do this!
