The main problem for most people when installing Linux is partitioning. Normies usually only use Windows that has been pre-installed, and never install Windows from scratch.
I think you should try Linux on a VM first to get used to it.
I've got a Windows 11 laptop as well, so it's not a big issue if I brick the machine.
I'm just gonna jump in head first. When I get around to it.
