If you’re putting it off you might be frustrated afterwards once you see how easy and fast it was, lol. If you make a bootable USB drive, which you should, you can boot to a live desktop and see linux running on your hardware before you install anything to a hard drive.
I have recently converted from Mint, including a brief stint with LMDE, to good old Debian + KDE Plasma and I absolutely love it. But I am also enough of an enthusiast that the few extra setup steps were fine.
It’s difficult to argue against Mint when your use case is a current windows user who just wants to drop Linux in its place.
Thats exactly where I am. As soon as I can be arsed im on it.
