In my case the reason I switched was because I was getting seriously fed up with Windows and the direction it's taking. I switched to have greater freedom & control over my own computer, to have better privacy & security, and out of curiosity/to learn new things, amongst other reasons.

In that case, then I'll pass. All of these reasons are outside the realm of things that would aid me.
1. Everything I've got has Windows pre-installed already.
2. Don't know enough tech knowledge that I'd be able to secure my computer properly anyway without help of some outside thing.
3. I've never had Windows hang up on me.
4. I'm so terrible at coding that I couldn't do anything with an open-source application.
5. I don't have any old systems and usually get rid of them only because they're physically broken beyond repair anyways.

Thanks for giving me more insight, though.

Makes sense. Again, I'm pretty much just held back by my severe lack of tech knowledge or will to do anything besides access the internet, make Word documents, and game.

Thank you for the giveaway! I'm in for

You're welcome! I had friends who were very reluctant to try it but it seems that things are changing now, maybe because MS messed up their recent operating systems or maybe because laptops are more popular nowadays and since people do stuff other than hardcore gaming on them, Linux is a good alternative and provides much more piece of mind.

Also, regarding comments 2 & 4:

2. Security in Linux is strong due to the way the system works. You don't really need to do something else to achieve better security, other than enabling the built-in firewall, which is a matter of pressing a button (most "beginner friendly" distros such as Mint or Ubuntu come with a firewall GUI.)

4. You don't need to know how to code to benefit from open-source software; everyone benefits from open-source software, be it for better security (issues are spotted much more easily because there are many programmers looking at the code and they are able to patch it more quickly which isn't usually the case with proprietary software) or better cost (in many cases free). Of course, open-source is not panacea and there are times when you'll need to use proprietary software for various reasons, but I think most everyday users like you & me won't have a problem. ;)

Since you're still in college you'll be using office a lot. Most likely Ms Word to make report. Ms Office doesn't play nicely on Linux and while LibreOffice is a nice replacement, it still doesn't create MS documents properly (usually problem with formatting). If your college requires you to use MS format document, you better use Windows than anything else.

Honestly, if the college requires the use of MS document format, I won't suggest a college student to use anything else other than Windows. IMO Windows is a good product. It just has a bit problem with security, virus and too many unused-by-regular-person feature. Well, the last addition of ads is dumb though

Call me stupid, but I didn't know Microsoft Office wouldn't run on anything but Windows. I assumed it was like any other application and you could run it on any system.
