I do not have the skills to work-on/repair OSs alternative, if something goes wrong. Are there any top alternative Computer OSs that have IRW computer repairpeople that was work on computers that use their OSs? If the answer is yes, then around what USA cities?

Thank You, for everyone seriously trying help me. Which is most the replies:)!

    Just checking: are you aware that you can try Linux on your machine without installing it? You can use Balena Etcher to write a disc image (.ISO) to any flash drive (that’s the one catch: you must own a flash drive), and plug it in, have the PC boot from the flash drive instead of its own internal parts, and test-drive Linux entirely in it.

    Alternatively, you could run it in a virtual machine via Oracle VirtualBox, which is free, last I checked.
