Is the question about Linux in general or about Pop_OS specifically? I've used it--the differences are going to increase once their new desktop environment releases, but right now it's comparable to Ubuntu except with some nice-to-haves (proprietary NVIDIA drivers are installed automatically, no software is delivered via Canonical's 'snaps' which are almost universally hated). I enjoyed it, but in my opinion, popular distros are more similar than they are different.
If you mean just replacing Windows with Linux in general: it's great, unless you need to run, say, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Excel, or Fortnite.

- robrtsql 2y agoI've never tried it, but my impression from other people is that it's unreliable and maybe doesn't even work at all for the newest versions of Microsoft Office.

With some were problems. 32 bit wine worked, but 64 bit prefix did not most of the times. There were attempts to auto configure apps, like bottles program. This did work quite well when I used it for simple programs. As with Linux. It takes some time to get familiar. Once you set up everything correctly, it will just work.
