I have been meaning to give it another go. You think it’s easier these days?
Imo it's been very easy. I recommend starting out by installing it on old hardware you don't care about anymore, or in a VM, just to get a feel for if it's something you feel is worth your time getting into, and if you want to keep using it, you can dual boot it along with windows. I particularly recommend PopOS as a great Linux distro to start out with, as it's a simpler and in most ways better fork of Ubuntu.
As it doesn't cost more than your time, and as long as tinkering with stuff like this is something you're at least somewhat interested in, I don't see any reason not to try it out again. But as with everything, there's no guarantee Linux is perfect for your use cases and you might be better off with windows, so don't feel bad for sticking with it if that's the case for whatever reason!
