I have a couple thinkpads loaded with windows 11 pro, would it benefit me to switch them over to Linux? Would I be able to use all the essential programs (or equivalent programs) that I would need to cover all my bases?

Edit: I should probably include that I'm a complete noob as far as Linux goes. I have a decent handle on computers in the general but have never been close to being any sort of computer enthusiast. Basically, I understand what terminal is but have only used it with direct instruction.

Been debating the same thing for my live setup. Bitfocus Companion runs on Linux and most programs I use seem to be as well. Windows is just such a pain in the ass these days.

My only issue would be for programming since Crestron isn’t supported on Linux, tho I could probably run it in docker or podman.
