Just pick a distro and a small cheap ssd, and make sure you use btrfs and enable snapshotting schedule from day one. Then If you get in that situation its super easy to flip back to an earlier state.

You will absolutely me counter situations that force you to investigate a bit, but as you use it those will become less frequent.

Stay in the Linux environment as long as you can take it. If you get frustrated hop back in windows a bit until you get the hankering to try again.

Worst case scenario is you're out ~20 USD. (Though I understand that's too much for some)
