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.

Wow, thanks for remembering it. Will definitely give it a try.
