Since yesterday was a day of waiting ( for shipments and such )...
After the computer upgrade for my home system, I took the old parts that I had removed added a hard drive and power supply and then played around with a couple of the newer distro's of Linux to see what has changed since I played with it several years back. They've made a lot of advances that now make Linux probably easier to setup and use than Windows if you are using one of the GUI interfaces ( as apposed to the command line stuff ). I didn't have to hunt down any hardware drivers, installing programs also automatically took care of any dependencies which is a real blessing... uninstalling programs is as easy as a right click on the menu item itself. The primary distro that I did most of the playing with is called Linux Mint ( v19.1 using the Cinnamon GUI ) which is a very Windows-esk release...
Then I performed a bit of Linux heresy and made it look even more Windows-esk...

There are certainly some advantages to the various Linux distro's and of course there are also downsides still as well. Linux has some excellent alternative options to the software you'll find on Windows or Mac but they aren't always full replacements so it depends on if you need specific features found in many of the commercial programs or not. Linux is certainly stable and most distro's offer LTS options ( long term support for updates ) providing up to about 5 years of updates for the OS.
