Linux
It would be better to run it on a virtual machine for a few days. It’s much simpler to wipe the VM if you decide to switch your mind. If you’re happy with it, you can boot from another OS. Keep in mind the host machine’s capabilities—I’d recommend at least an i5 processor and 8GB RAM. Ubuntu seems a good choice because it’s user-friendly. NetworkChuck on YouTube is also helpful; he’s encouraging and motivates you to keep learning. You can check his videos for tips.
To dive deep, try setting up VirtualBox and simulate various Linux environments. It lets you experiment freely without affecting your real system. After mastering it, you can switch between dual booting—choosing between Windows and Linux. Avoid using WSL for actual Linux experiences; it might give a weak impression, especially when watching YouTube videos in Windows.
