Okay. We're gonna poke the bear.
We're currently on Windows 10 on all our machines. All our family members use it too. We're not going to upgrade to Windows 11.
We're sure there will be a Windows 12 at some point, with built-in stuff that we don't want and can't easily remove until someone hacks it out.
So, if we were to attempt to make a move to a Linux distro where:
we'd get a Windows-like experience (minus the shitty bits)
we didn't have to ever use a command line console except for very advanced tasks
all our PC games would run
we could find Linux compatible versions (or compatibility layers) for decades of WIndows-only software
... where the heck would we even start?

Edit: Thank you so far for all the helpful suggestions and replies! We seriously do appreciate this, as it gives us somewhere to start gradually researching over time!

Ĉe #Windows11 mi jam ŝanĝis la musmontrilan haŭton en tiun nigran de ekstera desegnisto
Kial? Ĉar mi facile perdas rigardon al la denaska musmontrilo pro ĝia simpla aspekto kun malpliigitaj kadreco kaj ombro influita de la laŭmoda fasonado. Por solvi la problemon mi ankaŭ provis uzi la aldonan utiligon provizatan de PowerToys, kiu estas por facile trovi la montrilon kiam ĝi perdiĝis en vidkampo, sed ĝi ŝajnas ne esti plibona solvo. La radikala solvo por tio estas ŝanĝi la musmontrilan aspekton por ke ĝi jam ne estu malfacile rigardebla #lang_eo
KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.
In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":
https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/
In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.
