Considering you spend most of your computing time running Windows apps, 
you haven't actually switched to Linux and suffered with the poor choice 
you made.

Running Linux means giving up MS Office (never unless something just as 
good is available on Linux) and Notepad++ (difficult but not impossible 
to give up), and maybe a few games.

I assume my Canon MG 5220 printer will work under Linux.  I don't have 
any Windows-only hardware (is that even a thing any more?).
