If you are going to migrate to Linux you should expect some work to be involved on your part as you will need to learn the Linux way. Expect to have issues at first but things will become easier over time. Only you can decide if you would like to put in the effort to switch or whether it is worth it to you. Some people will tell you it is easy and entirely effortless where everything you already do will just magically work exactly the same under Linux. Others will tell you that you must be a propeller head geek with 20 years Linux experience to use Linux. As almost always the case, the truth is in the middle. You didn't get to your current familiarity with Windows in one day and neither will you master Linux in a day. It will take time and effort.
