I do both.
When someone comes to me regarding their laptop overheating and slowdown issues, I recommend them Linux, right before fixing their Windows.
And when someone asks me which one to use, or what to start with, or how to install, I warn them about the difficulties (because one who potentially can use Linux, will ask different questions).
You are not, I even warn others before they decide to try it or someone recommends it
