I’m a freelancer and unfortunately rely heavily on Microsoft. Haven’t had that stance for long, to be honest, but the past few months have been eye-opening. I’m trying to go more European in the future, and Open Source where viable.
It is a little scary I have to admit. I’m getting old enough to have worked with MS products for decades now, and am so used to them. It’s also a challenge to myself to move away and try new things, as I believe this will be a selling point in the near future in my business.

I was exactly the same but moved over to linux about a year ago, it took a little bit of time to get used to but overall hasn’t been a massive issue.
If there are additional packages you are used to running that will probably be the hardest part since you might have to find open source equivalents
