Honestly this is the best suggestion especially if you can mount your windows partition read only. You get the benefits of Linux while still having access to your files.
For most folks, the biggest hurdle is getting compatible apps. Once you find the apps you need, moving over is just a backup and restore away.
Take it slow. Install a VM with Mint. Play around with it. Get familiar. Move your regular usage over to it gradually. Make the jump when you are ready. It’s perfectly OK to have reservations about a big change like that. But you don’t have to do it all in one go.
I’m currently using Win10 IOT LTSC on my main gaming rig, and Mint on my laptop to get used to the environment (started 2 years ago). It’s a great way to both get used to the new ecosystem, and have a fallback cushion if some software or scenario doesn’t work properly.
I really need to move my PC over to Mint, but change makes me deeply uncomfortable :(
Just put it on a USB stick. No install, no commitment. Baby steps.
