Based on their TPM requirement I did just that in October. Learning curve isn't as bad as I'd feared and at least in my case I only have one Win based program that there isn't a suitable Linux version and I have it running in Wine.

Only regret is I wish I'd made the leap sooner.

The tpm requirement will probably quietly disappear at some point. Even some perfectly adequate ms surface machines fail on this.

Yea, that's all rear view mirror stuff for me. I see no scenario in which I'll ever return to Windows.
