I’m seriously considering moving to Linux. I’m currently in the Apple ecosystem, and frankly, I’m tired of all the Apple limitations and expensive equipment, where the only innovations seem to be USB-C ports or a camera button. iOS is also getting too complex and full of useless features. macOS is heading in the same direction.
Microsoft and Android are not options for me.
I’d like to know if anyone has made this transition and if you have any suggestions to share. Thank you.
Linux Pluses:
In gereneral, I advise people to dual boot first.
Only where I am for immidiate switch are people who have old XP., PPC and now Intel Mac etc,. machines I advise to cross fully to Linux as it supports their hardware better and gives them newer software.
Interesting fact: early PS3 had dual boot option to PPC Linux where you could attach kbd and mouse and have a fully functional computer. Later on slim model they retracted it. But there are ways to install Linux on PS3,PS4 and PS5 today and make them mighty computers, as by hardware they also are.
@roberto: Thanks to encouragement from some Rob Braxman videos, I made the jump from Windows 10 to Linux almost two years ago. I had a many-years-old HP laptop that originally ran Windows 8. I started by booting from a flash drive on which I had put Ubuntu. Once I realized how easy it was to use, I then replaced Windows 10 with Ubuntu on that laptop. When I heard Rob say that he used the Pop!_OS fork of Ubuntu, I then installed Pop!_OS to replace Ubuntu. Pop!_OS lets users customize various key combinations, which makes Pop!_OS comfortable for those of us who come from the Mac world or Windows world.
Interesting read on pop_OS. There were many tries to make “Windows like Linux”, but out of many distros, Ubuntus and MINT have proven to be most reliable and supported, while at same time being easier to use and better package then average other distro.
Surely, using USB stick to test and learn Linux is safe option, as most problems arise on partitioning part of installation - which needs some planning and knowledge.
Easy parts of transition
As home computer / Amiga lover, I appriciate everything is transparent (kernel tells everything during boot etc.) and fully user controlled.
Linux is indeed future. Many people forget Android is just nice skin and modded ARM Linux (and I always joke if someone asks what is Linux kernel version in Android info).
Rooting Android as example, is Linux root admin login and taking control.
How did you guess it? 
Its interesting to note that “free 3rd player amongst OS-es” Linux has jumped from 3% to 5% global market share of desktop OSs in 2024.
On mobile devices (tablets, smartphones) its possible to fully replace Android with Linux, or to integrate them alongside - Android that can use Linux apps (so called no root Linux).
Its only OS (line) that supports multiple CPU architectures, making use of industrial boards, old hardware, consoles to modern multi threads and super computers (its scalable)
And in the end - its absolute champion of Internet in domain of important Internet servers. Linux derivates and Oracle Linux hold over 39 percent share there, no matter how hard Apple and MS try.
Where stability and security matters.
Global free and open source market, with gems such as Firefox (Netscape lives on!) and Libre Office is inspired by Linux GNU licensing model.
In the end, its nice mentioning Mudita Center exists for Linux, providing Linux users with power to use Mudita products.
