If I have a PC with Windows on it, how can I parallel install Linux so I can start playing around with that? (lemmy.world)

Preferably a linux "flavor" thats more MacOS like in aesthetic, but that also has good availabillity of apps and stuff?

I put Linux on an external 2.5 inch SSD in a USB 3.0 enclosure. That way I could disconnect the Linux drive if I needed to boot Windows, that way Windows couldn't accidentally bork my Linux install.

When I didn't end up booting Windows for a month, I removed windows and installed Linux on the internal nvme drive. That was 18 months ago and I haven't looked back
