What to try #linux? Ask around, specially friends, what distro to try. Download a live CD and try it that way. If you have old HW sitting around, try installing there first. If not, try dual booting. Test the waters before you jump. If you get into any trouble, seek help from the distro's community; many have "instant chat" like IRC or others. Mastodon is possible, but it's slower because of the async'ty and pasting config files is awkward. Good luck!
PS: if the jargon si too much, just ask.
