Believe me Linux is not that hard. Little by little on a spare machine or Live Distros. Within a few sessions you’ll feel not out of your depth.

LOL. It’s learning not instant coffee.
suggested LiveCD cause it doesn’t destroy your current OS. Like try before you buy. Course it’s free.

Suggest going to Distrowatch downloading & burning some LiveCD. You don’t have to format, just play in the live environment. It’s all real easy to google these days.
I remember the 1st time I booted to a LiveCD in a Desktop that I’d removed the hard drive 1st. I laughed & laughed because I was using it without a HDD.
I suggest Mint & Ubuntu to start.

@FrugalFreak Linux that all banking & government sites worked on. And a seamless office suite that worked with M$ Office. There’s always some stupid website that I desperately need to use that Linux won’t work on. And it’s NOT Linuxes fault it’s the stupid FN website.
Those are the issues keeping me from full time Linux. Hardware compatibility is no longer an issue ime unless you have bleeding edge or ancient tech.
If I have an unknown laptop I want Linux on. Usually by the 3rd Distro everything works. Distrowatch.org is a great resource.
Some things won’t work like switchable graphics.

Some chose, some were forced. At this point everyone should know the issues.
