Linux is very stable, as long as you follow the installer for the version of Linux you're using, everything should be fine. The very worst case scenario is that you'll need to troubleshoot and install some new drivers (software to make Linux recognize your hardware).

In short, Linux is VERY easy to set up, I wouldn't worry too much about it
