Welcome to the dark side! I used Linux for my work. Creating documents and writing scripts.

When I do presentation to clients and they saw my Linux desktop, they were quite impressed, haha.

Windows was only used for playing Diablo.

Just starting out and want to feel like you're still on Windows: Linux Mint <-- Try this first (or Zorin OS)

Want stability at all cost: Debian (or Fedora - for more frequent up-to-date version updates)

Want to be on the cutting-edge: Arch Linux (and its associated distro; I'm on EndeavourOS)
(There's also CachyOS for the system optimisations, also Arch-based; many gamers are moving to this)

Have not been using my ROG laptop (Windows 10) for months as everytime when the machine starts up, it will then start doing all the software update nonsense.

And by the time it finished, the machine also felt quite laggy until me no mood to use liao.

So finally decided to remove Windows from the laptop and install Zorin OS.

Wah not bad...it's so much smoother and easy to use. Tried Steam also no issue.

Microsoft can go eat sh*t!!

Mac OS better

Windows 10?
I thought this OS is dead.

Unfortunately macos only works on Mac hardware. Linux works on everything.

Mac OS better

Indeed.

Mac OS > Zorin OS > Windows.

It's on an "old" laptop

Yes, if your MacBook / Mac Mini is relatively new and able to run the latest version of MacOS, then it is actually a better computer

But for people with really old Macs that are not able to run the latest version of MacOS, then no choice but to install Linux in order to extend the useful life of the computer. Older MacOS does not support latest version of modern web browsers.

Personally I find the GUI for MacOS better than Zorin - e.g. moving windows around etc.

Thus it really depends on your use case.

If my old Mac with the older version of OSX is good enough for my daily needs (and not needing the latest version), then I will likely stay put with OSX.

Using Linux is not a bed of roses. Do your research, go in with your eyes open.

You failed to use Linux. Please don't rain on the parade.
