I have no idea what all of those mean so I can't help you with that.

But generally speaking, the bottom line is "efficiency". I also have the added bonus of not worrying about crapware (spyware and malware and ransomware and I have no idea what more) and other nonsense that comes with Windows and is forced down your throat. Explaining is rather difficult, to be honest.

I say either dual-boot or just install a VM and download the book because it's available gratis. Once you learn how much your computer can do you'll dread ever returning to Windows. After using Windows most of my life I dread using it now.
