+1 for Linux Mint. I've been using it for ~6 months now and will likely switch to it exclusively soon. Much faster to boot than Win10 and more responsive as well. I am currently using a dual boot setup with Win10 "just in case" but have found little that I can't do without Windows.
As has probably already been said, you can use a program like Balena Etcher or Rufus to burn the LM image (or other Linux distro of choice) to a flash drive and boot from that to test out Linux before ever writing it to a hard drive. If you don't like it, wipe the flash drive and move on.

I've been using it on a tired Dell laptop for more than a year.
The only problem I've had is getting the audio to work properly through a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones.
But I've been using wired headphones plus an external amp/dac (Oppo) with excellent results. |
