to Linux.

I have no idea why anyone uses Windows anymore? Most of you don't "need" it. Very few of you are actually tied to any of Microsoft's proprietary services. Most common software is available for Linux Heck, I can even run Windows in Linux. Linux is faster, safer, more stable and free.
Recent versions of Windows have prematurely obsoleted perfectly good computers due to Windows bloated resource requirements. Those used computers are cheap or free everywhere. Yard sales, Craigslist, Shopgoodwill local thrift shops. your neighbors garage or basement etc. If you're nervous about committing your main system find a used system and experiment until you feel comfortable.

Beyond the above no progressive/liberal should support companies like Microsoft. (or Apple)

A good starting point:
