I've got tempted with Linux countless times and always got stopped because lack of integration with some specific software I use and fear of shitting things up because not knowing what I'm writing on the command line. Anyways, I should try it sometime...

Theres little to nothing you need the command line for any more with distros like linux mint. You could always try it out on a virtual machine for a while first.

Thanks, using a vm sounds like a good/safe idea. Any recommendations on where to start? I'm a total noob.

sorry for the delay! I have not used VM in a while now, not on local machine anyway. There is oracle's virtualbox which is free. https://www.virtualbox.org/ That's a good place to start, and I think Linux Mint is very similar to windows or mac, and would not be too much of a stretch to use.
