And you’re not alone, in fact I would guess you’re part of the majority. But we tend to live in bubbles surrounded by tech savvy people so we forget about it sometimes. And the problem with not knowing something is possible is not realizing its limitations, someone who’s eaten hot dogs every day of their life has no idea what a burguer is, is one intrinsically better than the other? Nope, but they’re different, and different people might like different things.
In any case, just like the other comment, if you have any questions feel free to ask, there’s a thriving community of people who use Linux and some of us were like you so we know where you’re coming from.
You can try Linux from DVD or USB flash drive without installing. You will get a fully usable desktop with browser, media player and so on; and you will get a feel to whether things are working for you or not without altering anything on your PC.
Well, if you would like to learn about and explore Linux as an alternative to Windows, I would be glad to answer any questions you have. I’ve been using Linux as my main or only operating system for all of my work and play for 12 years now.
You described me pretty well.

Know what, I just might get a few questions together and ask them in one of the Linux subs.
I installed Ubuntu the other day on my laptop it took about 15 mins and it was even easier than trying to set up windows

I’m linking to Ubuntu’s documentation on it, but many other Linux distributions support this feature https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install
