I find myself actually considering paying 30$ a year for prolonged windows 10 support because I find the switch to linux really overwhelming.
Like being sent grocery shopping, but all lables are in traditional chinese. Some things you can figure out very easily, but troubleshooting anything takes me days.
If you send me a message on matrix or a dm here I can help you with that unlimited no strings attached, I have over 10 years of experience and am very free!
Nah, I have ulterior motives, the more people on linux, the more support linux gets, the easier it is to move people to linux, the more support it gets…
I personally won’t pay for the extra security updates, and will switch to Linux, but like you said, it’ll be very overwhelming at first.
I’ve used kubuntu on my laptop for a while now, but it’s hard to rewrite my own software for Linux because it uses native system APIs.
I get it. I also don’t want to signal to Microsoft that switching to a subscription model is valid, for an OS I already payed for. I worry they’ll adapt it for all services released in the future, which are declining in quality. They are basically becoming Adobes ugly sibling.
I know, this is a contradictory statement to what I have written before which was driven by frustration mainly. Managed to troubleshoot a few things since then.

And I can’t stand using windows.
I knew it was to good to be true xD I managed to troubleshoot a few things over the past days so I am good atm. But thank you for your offer :)
You could try OpenSUSE, it has Yast2 GTK GUI control panel for everything, no command line needed. Assuming CLI is what you find troublesome.
And GUI package manager
