https://atlasos.net/ windows mod that does a clean modified install to cut out most of the malware, uses half the ram and up to 10% less idle cpu of bloated default windows, uses official win10 or win11 iso files, still need a product key

https://wubuntu.org/ ubuntu that has a cloned windows ui to help ease transition (if switching is an option)

If I switch to Linux will all the programs I use for Uni/work be fucked? (Teams, Word, Excel, R, etc)

The only thing that may be an issue is highly specific software, and games. Over the past year, whenever I start new stuff, I always get a Linux-compatible program/workflow, so it's gradually becoming a non-issue. Overwatch and Beat Saber are the only things tying me to Windows now.

Unfortunately, I love highly specific software and this has reduced my ability to use Linux. It is genuinely great that I can have any extremely narrow, bizarre need and some person wrote a program fixing that need in windows. Like what if I need to mux my mice and I am stuck on linux.
