So what did it take for you to go to Linux?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Windows 7 being discontinued.
I migrated my HTPC to Linux several years ago, and since then just transitioned more and more of my machines over.
My desktop is the only machine left running Windows at this point due to there being no Freetrack implementation on Linux for sim games
This is very similar to my story - end of support for win7 meant putting Mint on the HTPC.
Soon after that, it was the old laptop my spouse was about to chuck out. Cinnamon was a little sluggish, so I eventually landed on Debian + XFCE
And when I discovered I could get my desktop's audio interface working on Linux (it's firewire, and by most people's standards, ancient), it was game over for Windows.
I don't know what Freetrack is but I hope it gets implemented for you :)
