It's really easy to just try different distros and desktop environments out. For me, KDE Plasma has been an excellent vaguely Windows shaped Windows replacement.

With MacOS dropping subpixel support for text and with the cleartype patents expiring, Linux font rendering just keeps getting better while the others stay the same or get worse. I can't really conceive any reason to stay on Windows now unless you're a hardcore gamer.



...or use industry-specific software like AutoCAD for example...


Sure, though that list of Windows-exclusive software keeps getting shorter. You have my condolences though.
