Well, honestly, yeah! Def get input from more seasoned folks, but most distributions have a "live" trial version thing where you run it off of a thumb drive without installing it. That way you can see how it behaves and poke around before you commit. The other way is to do a dual boot which gets a bit more technical but it's not extremely complicated. Another way to get the full experience is to find an old laptop and install it there to learn. A lot of the manually installed things through the terminal is hardly relevant anymore, it's gotten so much easier to use.
Edit: another plug for Linux Mint btw.
