I’ll be trying out Linux outside of a virtual machine for the first time. I’ve got a SATA SSD external enclosure that I’ll be using to boot without messing with my current pc

And just for the first couple of days. Once you set it up it works like any other OS. I don't think most people change the way their pc works every other day. Once you get the hang of it it stays mostly the same. This year I changed full from w10 to mint and no issues since.
