Nah you're overthinking it. Grab a beginner friendly distro like Mint and just start using it. All this is fanboy talk that can be interesting but doesn't affect 99% of users.

Yeah, it's not like most Windows users understand a lot about Windows, including how to install Windows, or what an operating system is.

A concerning amount of Windows users say they're PC users.

They're technically right, the best kind of right. That said, I too hate Microsoft leaning into this Apple marketing bullshit and trying to monopolize the term personal computer for Windows.

Although, you could argue that some of the modern computers that only support UEFI booting and no longer have BIOS booting support aren't actually PCs since the PC bios is a pretty big part of what traditionally defined a PC compatible system
