Don’t know about anyone else but it was 100% true for me. I love linux and never switching back. Never even tried dual boot, just installed linux and started learning everything i need in it. I can say i learned so much more than when i used windows. Linux has a learning curve much greater than windows, but if you put the work into it you won’t regret it. But if you are a gamer i highly recommend having a second pc with windows, don’t bother with dual boot.
Unless they encode ads into video it won’t stop adblockers. And if they do encode them, they need to figure out a way to block users from skipping ads by clicking on video bar or rewind buttons during this ads playback. Highly unlikely they will do any of this, so you should not worry ublock got you covered. And by forcing more ads on users google invites even more rippers. The more companies resist change the more people will find ways around it.
