*** Going all-in on Linux ***

I'm getting rid of Windows.

I'll never hassle others for keeping it as their daily driver. There are practical costs, and pressure to yield to industry norms.

But right now, I'm largely free of those constraints. There will never be a better time to go "all-in".

I'll still occasionally need a Windows VM, because I can't entirely unshackle myself from reality. But I will be in control of my machine - not Microsoft. And that's a happy thought. :)

@lulu_powerful nice, what distro?

@brodriguesco I haven't decided. There are live boots I can try, but my usual modus operandi is to make a comparison table and agonise over it. :P

Light, or light-ish, would be ideal.

I'd also like a distro that offers the "usual setup" straight out of the box: systemd, X11. I can't credibly form a view on the alternatives if I haven't spent sufficient time with the incumbents.

@lulu_powerful For something lite and as easy to use as possible, I really Lubuntu. Haven't tried other things like Linux Mint, but that could be a nice alternative as well. Pop_os is also popular, but haven't tried it myself either.
