Thanks, but on second thought I don't want to risk anything as I'm not quite the "technical" kind. I don't even know how to dual boot 2 different windows version. I don't think I'll be able to fix it if anything broke.

So I'll buy another cheap SSD and put Linux on it while unplugged my old SSD. Then I'll be choosing the boot drive during POST.

I'm damn sick of Windows BS, I hope this'll work out.

Yeah, that's fair. But I will still recommend anyone trying out linux AND having a problem to consult Arch Wiki when they can. It is amazing what they have there. It will also increase your technical understanding of how your system works overtime. But if you don't have any problems when driving linux, that is good too. It just means linux for the masses is coming closer.

For some distro recommendations, if you love to tinker, I'd say go arch. You will learn a lot about your computer too, and it is also how I learn about mine and get the know how for a lot of things now. But also, if you don't have the time to tinker, I'd recommend bazzite. I've read their documentation and came to the conclusion that if anything goes wrong, it would be easy to recover from it, has great community, and is based on a solid distro.
