Right now, my Windows 10 installation is pretty bloatless and is easily revertable when an update wants to change things. However I’m definitely looking for a more mainstream Linux solution because I know these times won’t last.
Check out Endeavor OS. I’ve been using it for about 3 months now as a full replacement to my old windows 11 set up… everything I’ve needed it to do, with the exception of a few games has worked either right out of box or with minor tweaks. The forums are active and the Arch Wiki has answers to nearly every question you may have about the backbone of the OS. System updates are incredibly easy and are done on your schedule, not Microsoft’s.
I use EndeavourOS and it’s great, but for linux newbies or folks who just want a stable OS as a daily driver i’d recommend some other ones. I used POP_OS before switching to Endeavour and that was a solid one for me
I’ll add another option that is great for people trying out Linux for the first time (though it’s great for seasoned Linux folks, too): ZorinOS. It’s based on Ubuntu LTS, but has a few beginner friendly options and features straight out of the box. Note that there is an optional “pro” version if you like to support development, but it’s completely optional.
Here is an interesting link that a user can answer questions to refine Linux distro choices:

Nice, thanks!

No experience with Pop, but I’ve heard good things!
I daily drive it at work and it’s perfectly solid, but I also don’t do anything cuhRAAAAZY because it’s a workstation. 99% of the time I’m just running Flameshot to take screenshots, a few Firefox windows with one or two dozen tabs total, a company chat program, and on rare occasions I’ll use LibreOffice to open a file or do some very light image editing.
Fedora is my recommendation of choice. The default Fedora + Gnome workflow out of the box is absolutely flawless.
Yeah that’s the beauty of it isn’t it… a lot of distros and desktop environments to choose from; there is a flavor for anyone!
For anyone switching from windows I recommend KDE Plasma as it’ll feel closest to what you are used to.

I Don’t use MS Office, unfortunately. You are going to have a lot of people say just try LibreOffice, but that does not work for everyone so I understand the hesitation.

Right on and no problem!
Libre office aint bad. If you want something like office365 check out nextcloud office.
Have you tried using OnlyOffice? It’s pretty much a 1:1 recreation of Microsoft Office, there’s a flatpak build. It’s scripts are made in Javascript but it seems simple enough to convert a VBA script.

I’ve got a windows 10 PC that I built as a gaming computer like 10 years ago. To be honest it spends a lot of time turned off because Linux has become much better for gaming using Proton.
However sometimes it is really useful to have a windows computer around. Being able to use Visual Studio for C# and C++ projects is particularly good given how much scaffolding their frameworks give you. Still, if I end up having the system being forcibly upgraded or when it leaves LTS it will probably end up being sold for spare parts.
