Do you have a separate computer that you can use to do a “test run” of using Linux? If not, I would at least play around with Linux in a virtual machine before committing to the bit (and I say this as someone who has been using Linux laptop / Windows desktop for 6-7 ish years now)

When you make an installer USB stick, it also doubles as a live preview (for most? all? distros).

So you just boot into it and you can play with it before running the installation.
