The os itself doesn’t require a whole lot of learning, if you stick to something user friendly like mint cinnamon. Key differences are how you install programs and drivers. File structure is very different. After two years of daily driving mint cinnamon, I find it more difficult to do basic stuff in windows, especially 10.
If it feels intimidating, the recommended approach is to try it out on another pc, dualboot, or use it in a virtual machine.
