Windoze might not be my problem in the near future.
Microsoft is doing its best to alienate its customers through
various invasive features. Since I'm now retired, I no longer
need to support Microsoft products. I'm slooowly moving my
personal computing to Linux (Mint 22) and have begun using
privacy oriented products on Windoze. While my use of
Microsoft products will probably never be eliminated (games,
banking and taxes), I will be prepared should Microsoft
continue on its present path (spying, advertising, privacy
issues, bugs, etc) towards some inevitable disaster.
I will admit, if I had the time I Linux is something I've
thought I might enjoy tinkering with. Maybe when I retire. I
have way too much going on in my life right now to take on
another hobby.
If you do get around to it and want to understand the system
administration side of things, I highly recommend this book...

server in my basement that hosted my own domain and several
services (news, web, mail, etc.). The book doesn't get into the
desktop environment, but gives you a great sense of what's
happening under the hood. It's an entertaining read too. :)
