I started using Windows back in 1993 with Win 3.1 and have used every Windows OS except (win98 and winME). I even had a laptop with Vista. However, after all those years of using Windows I finally switched to Ubuntu (running Gnome 3.x desktop) and have been very happy. There were a few challenges right at the beginning with a video card driver (but mine is NVidia so it worked out fine.
Ubuntu 20.04 (current) is fantastic and you will be amazed and how much better it performs. I am an Android developer and Android Studio runs so much better on Linux than windows. But I'm also a C# developer and I use Visual Studio Code for that and everything else. There is very little you will miss on win10.
