Fairsies :3 I just said a decade cause that's my first experience, and I couldn't be bothered looking into when the install process was really simplified for a random lemmy comment lol
I've been on pop!_os consistently for.. 3 and a bit years now? some distro hopping before then
What you should expect to change.. well other than the obvious like the UI and such.. chances are you'll need a decent bit of different software than on windows, im assuming you looked into alternatives for the software you use, or if it simply just runs, so im not gonna list a bunch of stuff here :3.
Tech support online is mostly gonna be through terminal commands, which actually makes it way less painless imo since you can just copy-paste stuff instead of navigating though a bunch of interfaces.
Installing apps is different since you'll often find multiple packages for the same thing, and have to decide between .deb or flatpak etc.
All of that seems like fairly obvious stuff you'd find along the way to the process of looking into switching to linux tbh, but I can't think of much that'd be a major shock otherwise lol
In terms of gaming, I've had no major issues :3.. some minor ones that were easy enough to troubleshoot did occur tho. Generally just checking out protonDB to see what people are saying in terms of compatibility is good, but basically 90% of what doesn't run now are games with kernel level anti-cheats
Well the original reason I went to spotify was kinda cause someone I know was curious what my spotify wrapped would look like :3.. and then I kinda just never switched back, cause I couldn't be bothered adding all the new songs I listened to on spotify to my playlist at the time x3
