Completely clueless on Linux, but wanna get into it.

Hi, with the increase in the general risks of winning W10 and just how privacy-invasive Microsoft has become, alongside most games requiring access beyond what I'd consider respectable to just run anti-cheats, I've been thinking of running Linux instead and then having W10 on a VM. I've got no clue as to how Linux actually works, what packages are or how to install them, I'm definitely informed to the point of being able to google search a software issue but I'm definitely not knowledgeable in code whatsoever.

​

Aside from the W10 VM to run games, I mostly just browse the web and talk to friends. I do some video editing here and there, listen to some music, but that's about it. Where would I get started in learning how to use Linux?
