Honestly, I would say either of those are good options to start with. I sincerely doubt fully breaking the PC. Maybe research Linux for your GPU, you may have multiple options. It may be worth a second hard drive so you can easily swap back and forth until you are fully comfortable. Dual booting on the same HDD is also possible, but more annoying.
Personal issue I ran into: motherboard customization on my big gamer doesn’t work without Windows… Not a huge deal, but my Rainbow LED runs its animation in reverse.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good idea ! I will install it on an external HDD (I have a laptop), so if there is any problem my computer will still be safe.
And once i’ll will be use to it (in 6 months or a year maybe) I can fully install in in place of Windows ! It’s a great advice ! Thank you !!!
If you’re worried about breaking your computer take a look at bazzite too, it’s an immutable distro so it won’t even let you mess with important system files without really really trying. it also installs the proprietary Nvidia drivers so you don’t have to worry about that either
Same answer as that other guy. I tried Pop OS for a few months, and while the automatic tiling is tempting, it’s really buggy even with the new version. Linux Mint is the easiest IMHO and looks a bit like Windows 2000. I love it so far.
Thanks for you answer. I’m a novice concerning linux. I wish too leave microsoft but i’m a bit afraid of breaking my computer.
So far i’m hesitating between mint and pop!_os in dual boot

are you looking at the newer version of pop os? It’s still in beta, I think you would have a better experience with mint.
I guess I am aiming at a stable version in order to prevent difficulties
