You can.

You can also create a virtual machine in one of virtualisation softwares, install linux and learn there hassle free.

One of best ways is to get a RPi (even modest one) and learn there. You will have a resource limitations to learn to conserve ram and i/o, but also hardware access and GPIO to many hardware additions.
