In my opinion, the best way to learn Linux is by creating a VirtualBox with a LinuxSystem inside that. That means if make a heavy mistake, nothing happens to your main operating system, like windows.
There are many YouTube Tutorials how to create a VirtualBox with almost any Linux Distrobustion...
Just for information: I always install Timeshift on my Daily Drivers and create new snapshots every week in order to be prepared in the event that a problem occurs and I can undo it. There are several YouTube videos about Timeshift.
Good luck and Merry Christmas
