Use a package manager, bud.

Linux is amazing.

Okay... so that "conversation" soon died. You'll soon grow out of the honeymoon phase, and realise that it's utterly meaningless in and of itself, and of no actual, substantial worth as a subject of interest or discussion. It's a clinical gathering of bytes - meaningless - and no doubt you can (and will) find enough people willing to squander weeks of their life "discussing" it.

By the way, the bolts on my oven are pretty cool - very strong. The screws on my front door, are also... SEE? YOU'RE BORED!  ;)

An OS is a means to an end, a container or a "room" to enter to get stuff done. You're looking at it as if it's your newly-wed wife, and it ain't - it's NOT all that exciting, and yes - yes it DOES slow down to a crawl, whether or not you "ask" it not to (my adblocking Pi is doing this last night, and this BULLSHIT wasted 2 hours of my VERY precious time - sofware is bollocks - people get all "excited" over it, but... for WHAT reason?)

Outside of Microsoft, most of the tech industry and the vast majority of the internet back end runs on Linux. The only place that Linux is not absolutely dominant is the consumer and corporate desktop.

Android USES Linux (The Colonel [Sanders]) - apart from that, it is UTTER TRASH.

While there is a learning curve, you will catch on to the basics (browsing the web, writing documents, etc.) very quickly.

It's like a breath of fresh air to have your computer run so much faster than before.

And the range of software that's available for Linux is fantastic, typically:
1.   Open source
2.   Free
3.   No finicky digital rights management software to contend with
4.   No bloatware
5.   Does not slow your machine down by running in the background when not asked to do so
6.   New software can be installed (or removed) in seconds simply by typing a few commands in the terminal

Best of luck!

Linux attracts a disproportionate number of raving enthusiasts, whom could be better used by being dispatched via mail order, "hired" if you wish, and arrive at the homes of insomniacs, to sit by their bedsides and send them to sleep as they evangelise about "Open Sauce", Heinz 57, Colonel Mustard and other assorted oddities of technically tedious trivia.
