before I ever install their unnecessary and untrustworthy data-miner

You're about [current year minus year you installed Win10] years too late for that. That said, if you intend to come over to Linux, it's probably best to set time-bounded goals for yourself instead of vaguely putting it off until MS does something that crosses some poorly defined line, else you risk having to chaotically abandon ship at the last minute and making the transition much harder.

To add on if you have multiple machines in your home, move one machine to something easy like ~~Arch~~ Mint now to ease yourself in. I dropped a 2nd SSD for Mint in main machine and haven't booted my win install in over 2 years and even then it was unnecessary. Currently I'm up to the family computer on Mint, 2 laptops running Tumbleweed and Fedora, a server on Debian, 2 Raspberry Pis on Raspian, and a router on FreeBSD.
