I really appreciate you making it sound so much more manageable than my first impression led me to believe. You've got me looking forward to trying Linux rather than just being full of trepidation about it since programming and the technical stuff isn't my wheelhouse, so thanks for that!

Tell you a really easy way to get your feet wet in Linux, download a Linux ISO or two, and try them out in VirtualBox. Right from the comfort of your Windows machine without doing anything to your hardware you can try it out, see if you like the feel, follow some tutorials and learn some stuff, see if it's a place you want to go.
