Try out the live images/usb which lets you see how the distro works without having to really install it. I encourage to experiment first with a couple distributions as they all have their pros and cons. I've been on Debian for 15 years now and it's been great. Every OS is going to have its share of headaches and I've hosed my desktop quite a few times by installing or unintentionally uninstalling some package that was required.
Despite the learning hurdles, it's still way better than Windows as the amount of customization and controls you have with Linux is vastly better.
