Reading all this makes me sad; and I’m relieved to have switched to Mac years ago…

Me when I move from cheap spyware to premium spyware.

Yeah, I've been avoiding this stuff the past few months by only letting my laptop online for quick essentials things. It's windows, I can't replace it with a mac so it's gotta be linux. Most online stuff I can do on my phone. But I can't put it off forever; I'm going to have to try the linux dual boot thing sooner or later. I've been putting it off because I've not used linux since the 90s and I really don't have time to re-learn. Gotta be done tho.
Edit - your semicolon inspired me to try one of my own!

Linux is a lot, lot, lot easier to use now than the 90s.

I've been daily driving it for quite a while now and have had zero issues even with constant updates.

Just a warning, Windows doesn't always play nice when installed on the same drive as Linux. If you have two drives, try installing them on different ones. If not, there's a risk that a Windows update can mess some things up. Usually it's fine, just I've had issues with it and so have others.
Anyway, Linux is really easy now. I would recommend something with KDE, like the Fedora KDE spin as an example. KDE is very familiar to Windows users, though very customizable if you want too. It should be a very easy transition, as long as you go in not expecting it to be identical to Windows. You have to meet it where it is, which does require relearning a few things.
If you have questions feel free to ask. There's also plenty of other users on Lemmy who would be happy to help.

I never used linux and was surprised how easy and almost seamless the transiton was.

For most people it is more than a good enough drop-in replacement for Windows.

dual boot is very simple and stable, I've been using Ubuntu / windows 10 for years after following a 10-minute YouTube video and basically only switch over to windows for games.
It's a great setup overall If there are some windows applications you prefer or are more convenient.

I have nothing to add to this conversation, but properly used semicolons always make me smile.
