I will be replacing windows on all five of my home computers with Linux
I'll leave a couple as a dual boot, but the media server, laptop, primary desktop, and two media/'console' PCs (connected to TVs) will be swapped over. hopefully it will be easy to get the same setup on all of them and run reliably.
Just a suggestion but for the two htpcs I'd recommend using bazzite or steamos. Both are stable and hard to break and booting into a console likr interface is great. Use anything else for the rest of your machines. They lock both down a bit too much to be practical every day machines.
Having been daily driving Bazzite for a bit, as long as you're willing to work with it it's perfectly fine as a daily driver. Sure I've had to pop in to distro box a couple of times to run a specific utility that's not in the immutable build but that's just a couple of extra clicks plus I can pick whatever distro userland I want which is convenient for better compatibility with whatever GitHub script I've decided to blindly trust this week!
