Linux in 2021 is a completely different thing, if your hardware is compatible you're basically good to go. Even if you don't switch to it if you have a spare USB stick of like 4+ GB you can try out various distros by booting off the USB stick itself. You can test compatibility (something the anti-linux reactionaries don't acknowledge) to ensure your stuff is good to go if you're planning to install, or you can just use it as a "plug-and-play" Linux stick for any computer you're at.
