From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There already good recommendations, so i'll just add that you shouldn't make your work life harder for the sake of running Linux.
Definetly give it a go, and see if it fulfills your needs, but maybe hold off on nuking your Windows install until you are satisfied.
I use my Linux computer for personal stuff and some work stuff (web-browsing, email, office suite) and i have a separate Windows PC just for running applications specific to my field, which don't have Linux versions or alternatives (or where it makes the most sense for me to use the industry standard)
