The definition varies based on where you set the "power user" boundary.
Good morning. In my view, switching should be avoided unless it offers a clearer perspective. On Windows, you're bound by the system's constraints. With Linux, you have more control over how the operating system functions. I don't rely on Linux for everyday use; I mainly use MAC OSX and Windows 10, though sometimes university projects require it. I usually opt for Linux in server environments. If you're interested in trying Linux, consider setting up a virtual machine—this lets you test without risking your main system.
Generally, you'll appreciate switching to Linux only when you're dissatisfied with your current setup. If you enjoy what you have, every new task will feel redundant and you'll lose interest quickly. I recommend using VirtualBox to run Linux in virtual machines, configure it as if it were always active, enable fullscreen mode, and continue working. Test what arises, check for missing programs, explore alternatives, but remember you can always switch to another application at any moment.
For those focused solely on terminal-based Linux usage, Linux Subsystem for Windows is the ideal choice.
