dual booting linux?

[u/No_Stretch5024]

im very new to laptop/pc stuff and i bought a used laptop specs are shown in picture
I primarily want to switch to linux because it looks better and it eats up less ram
Windows takes up 4.8gb while idle
I have c drive which only has windows

And d drive which i mainly use for games
My use case is mostly games on steam
Roblox studios and ai tools
Which one do i choose i heard mint is easiest but i know nothing about linux
How and where do i start
And maybe i can fully switch to linux if it doesn't have restrictions for me use case?

Start with Linux Mint. It's easy and stable.

Yeah. The only hard part of the setup is probably choosing the correct partition to install the thing because they sometimes have weird names

I don't know if it's just me but when I first switched a little over a year ago and was distro hopping a bunch, I feel like the "easy" distros gave me the most issues
