I still use Win10 for gaming, but use Zorin lite for my web computer. It is small, fast, reliable, low overhead and essentially virus proof (web browsers are an inevitable malware party).
Zorin lite - XFCE is a bit like WIn XP, but there are other desktop environments that are more akin to 7, 10, or MacOS.
With most distros, you can write a live DVD and try it out for real, before installing it. Distrowatch will show you hundreds, but for a first try, something like Linux Mint XFCE, Linux Mint Cinnamon, Ubuntu Mate or KDE NEON will show you the way.
Good luck. The distros come with a full selection of programs, unlike Windows, where you usually have to buy them later.
Libre office or Free office are both really good, though you may want to change some of the default programmes included with the distro. Synaptic package manager to add or remove programmes is easy to use and allows you to easily install almost anything you could want.
Open Office works fine for me. It's free and compatible with MS docs.
@Fleur. Use Linux.

Linux if you are up for it.
You guys are breaking my brain. IтАЩm such a techno dope. I do use Brave. IтАЩll have to figure out how to move over to these other things.
