I am one of these 5% of people, and haven't regretted it since I switched when Win7's support ran out. Unfortunately, I still need to use Windows for work, but since most stuff at work is done in MS Office or browser, it's managable.

I switched last weekend. I got new parts for a build due to a leak in the radiator of my watercooling loop. Really everything except hard drives and the case was replaced.

Previously, me switching to Linux was planned before Windows 10 support would end. My old hardware didn't support Windows 11 (6th Gen i7). And most, if not all things I heard were pretty negative, at least for non commercial users without active directory with cloud sync. But the same holds true for the experience with it on our work computers. So I decided to switch to Linux anyway.

And as it is required now when I write a comment: I'm using Arch btw. No problems so far.
