Dang this is really good advice I hadn’t even thought of getting used to Linux applications. It’s almost like a slow drip of information to become accustomed to it. Definitely doing this, thanks!

Linux for a beginner?

Did the same about 5 years ago. My advice; don’t switch just yet. Start replacing your regular apps with apps that also run on Linux. Many apps that run on Linux desktop also have windows & macOS versions that have similar functionality. Get used to them, make sure they work for you. In the meantime, start learning; Linuxjourney.com is a great place to start. Itsfoss.com also has tons of info & app recommendations. Finally, when you’re ready, I recommend starting with system 76 Linux distribution pop os. Very beginner friendly, tons of documentation. Good luck.
