Linux is pretty mature. It'd be a bit of a learning curve coming from Windows, but I'm sure nothing that you can't handle.

I'm an IT nerd and have been tinkering with various operating systems since the late 80s. Many, many years ago, I tinkered with Linux. It was OK then, but is much, much better these days.

I've been a Microsoft/Windows guy since I started, but liked to tinker with other stuff. I stopped the Windows stuff at Win 7, and just replaced a 9 year old Win 7 PC with a new iMac 27". I bought my wife a Macbook Air many years ago, and took the first two weeks that we owned it to learn it so I could provide her with tech support once she started using it. After that two weeks, I determined that my next PC would be an apple. They are excellent.
