I installed Linux mint last night and honestly it was a lot easier than I thought. I work on Mac and game on windows usually.

It took a couple of hours (mainly rebooting my machine over and over because it's so beat up) but the install and documentation held my hand most of the way, and a YouTube video covered the rest.

Now I get to see how smooth it is to use before I put it on my main machine.

A lot of people suggest a dual-boot (more technical, but it will run faster than virtualbox) as then you can just reboot the computer and use the windows "half" whenever you need to do something Linux can't handle.

Just be aware that clicking the wrong button may write over the windows part of your machine. There was a lot of "are you SURE?" confirms first though. If that makes you too nervous, then maybe try virtualbox instead first (as the others suggest).
