How to try out Linux on Laptop?
I believe I've heard about starting Linux from a USB before, but my goal is learning Linux for everyday tasks. Is there a way to get comfortable with it without leaving your Windows laptop behind?
You find an alternative during setup for dual-booting, such as choosing Linux Mint alongside Windows 10. The installation provides a choice to combine both operating systems and includes a partition option to set up the Linux HDD space and memory.

Use Rufus to create a bootable USB. Select the Linux option when prompted to boot.
Obtain an additional hard drive. You can find genuine OEM units at very affordable prices.
He may have to turn off Secure Boot in the UEFI options initially before switching between Windows and Linux.
Bash is now available on Windows, allowing you to execute commands directly from the command line. If you need something specific, it should work seamlessly on Windows (CLI focused). Your other choices include dual boot setups, live CDs/USB drives, or running a virtual machine like Virtualbox.
There are many choices for Linux. You can install a portable hard drive and start with Ubuntu from your laptop at https://askubuntu.com/questions/446682/h...hard-drive. Booting from USB is possible, but you may not be able to save projects unless you allocate disk space. You can also dual boot, as mentioned earlier. I tried a few Linux distributions and would suggest Mint for beginners if you haven’t used it before. Good OS options are available—hope this helped.
