You don’t have to install anything on your laptop if you just want to try Linux and see if it would work for you. You can just prepare a Linux Mint USB (or any other distribution really) plug it to your laptop and boot from it. This will boot into the live desktop from the USB and will not touch your drives. There you can try Linux and get a feel for it before you commit.

Not with that attitude

Yes I have but it’s either pure white that burns your eyes or eye burning white letters on deep space black and I do not want that. I really want the app to either adapt to my material you theme (which is yellow-brown colored and really nice to look at I think) or give me the option to make my own theme.

Well you can’t really use something not useful to you. Yes Linux is very nice but at the end of the day you gotta use the thing that gets the job done.
