You try can Linux out without installing it(via live USB)? Check this guide but use Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu. You can also try it out via virtual machine.
Also try to switch to cross platform open source programs like these so you'll be able to use the same programs when you switch to Linux
Thanks. Actually using a VM to test it out sounds like a good idea.
This is what I do too. Distro hopping is too much effort with how often I want to try something new out, so VMs are the move
There's also this which saves you having to download and set up seperate machines for each distro you want to try out.
