If you are building a new machine for home use and not starting with Linux it's crazy to me. The worst that can happen is you try it for a month or two, hate it, and then buy a windows license.

    Even at that you can dual boot. You could ween yourself from one to the other to build a daily driver. As Linux has several windows emulators(heroic for example) that you can install and run all your fav window programs anyways.

    Linux is like so zero risk it is ridiculous.
