Based on this post I'm gonna say take it slow with a dual boot or live installation, if at all. You mention a lot of IMO fairly minor and subjective look and feel type criteria that indicate that you'll be quite bothered by minor changes. Using Linux is going to involve major changes. If you're not willing to leave your comfort zone and relearn a few things, might as well stay on Windows.

You're collaborating by participating in the US economy, far more than voting against Trump.

What are you talking about? He was talking about local elections, and even if he wasn't there are a non-zero amount of Congress members who fit those criteria.

It's literally 0. The entire country could vote unanimously for Stein and the electors could (and would) still just pick a winner from the two major parties.

Please research the electoral college before you discuss US presidential elections online.

Right... But unless you're suggesting abolishing voting entirely, none of this suggests that withholding your vote in protest is useful.

It also takes very little effort.

Do you think it's a zero sum game where voting somehow disables your ability to do other activism and organizing?
