Hopefully they will find better jobs with better employers.

For everyone who uses Windows, try Linux. Don't be scared to try something new, most things that are worthwhile come with some sacrifice. Sometimes, if we don't leave our comfort zone, we miss out.

I will provide a small guide, but there are tons of resources on the internet.

See the ranking on the right hand side here: https://distrowatch.com/ You can pick something from there on the top of the list.

Watch YouTube to learn more about each Linux distro that you find interesting.

I personally would recommend Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distros, as they have the widest support.

You don't have to wipe your Windows-installation completely, instead you can dual-boot. This allows you to pick Windows or Linux when you start your computer. If you feel comfortable switching entirely, you can wipe out Windows and keep Linux exclusively.

Just be careful when you partition your drive, don't accidentally overwrite your Windows installation (if that's not what you want to do). Make a backup copy of your most important files on a separate external drive before the installation.
