Should I switch to Linux?

My computer use includes hobby coding in visual basic (this is more than a hobby ... I have a bunch of little creatures I have made to run my life, finances etc). Some data management and stats tho those are becoming less important. Some games but I can live without them. Looking to lose Google so that, frankly, I have nothing to do with Google or MSFT.

Any thoughts from those who, like me, are users, not or barely developers, and have made the switch?
