There's nothing stopping you from making a boot key and messing with Linux or making a partition of your storage. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
That said, as someone who is also very visually inclined, I've tried a couple of different distros over the years and always bounced off. I kept encountering the dumbest little issues that most people didn't get, and it always required Terminal to fix. It's those moments when you get to learn how obtuse and unwelcoming some of the Linux community can be.
What's the point? Anyone who's vaguely interested in it is going to know about it, and there's never going to be anything particularly game changing in a 20th iteration of a franchise. It's still CoD at the end of the day.
