Even as someone relatively comfortable with computers, Linux intimidates me. I want to use it but there’re so many variations and it’s a massive rabbit hole to go down; I just don’t have the time or energy to spend several days getting it set up how I want it and fixing any errors that I cause

About that last point, you don’t really need to. Internet people like to show off their customized desktops and systems, but in reality using a “just works” distribution requires very little headache and time. Except for the time spent choosing it, that is

Maybe this weekend I’ll give it a go on the old laptop

I would suggest Mint as a good distro that’s easy to use out of the box. It’s what I use on my laptop, and am switching to on the computer.

If you’re not sure though, you can try Linux in a virtual machine :)

Thanks, that’s the one I’ve seen recommended the most, I reckon

that’s why I recommend ubuntu. It’s got big market share. It’s orange. It’s linux.
