I would definitely recommend switching! I've been 100% Linux for a couple of years now, and it's made my life so much easier. It also made computers a lot of fun again!
The biggest thing I would say to do is try to forget the "Windows Way" of doing things. Linux is not really harder, it's just different!
Linux Mint or Pop!_OS would be my recommendations as a good starting point, but Ubuntu or Fedora would also be good options.
