This raises an interesting point actually… I have a new Win11 machine but my old Win10 one is just being kept around for low level, non essential tasks. I don’t have any essential apps left on there really now. I signed up for that extra year of Microsoft support that was offered but when that runs out I guess what a perfect time to have a play with Linux and see what all the fuss is about.
You’re describing the oldest Linux gateway in the book—experimenting with a secondary device. Make sure you copy any data you care about off your PC, pick a distro that looks neat, and try it out!
Don’t worry too much about picking the “right” or “wrong” distro. It’s very easy to switch once you get the hang of Linux in general.
