I'd suggest setting up linux in a virtual machine first to get familiar with it first. There's many many distros out there and if you don't like the one you're trying, just try another one. When you have one you like, you can install it for real.

It's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be. For most distros you'll likely have a system with a browser, libre office, steam (except games aren't going to work well in a VM), etc. up and running in about an hour or two. It only really gets tricky if you're trying to get some janky hardware working.
