I ran my main home desktop PC on Debian Linux for a couple of years around 2006/7.
Admittedly that Debian rig had extra repos added and backports for full multimedia and other software.
But if it was possible to 'not miss Windows at all' - with Debian - back then, it must be entirely possible with Mint or Ubuntu by now.

The other 'flavour' I liked a lot was Arch Linux.
very different system admin approach with Arch but the system you can put together is very rewarding.

I dont run any Linux systems now. I am too reliant on proprietary software programs to make it worth while.

IMO there is simply way, way too many different Linux distributions and the tribalism and even 'rivalry' among both developers and users (devotees!) will keep Linux away from the big stage, though no doubt it will remain an alternative.
