I did something similar a few months ago! But honestly it took me forever to pick between GNOME and KDE. Ended up going to KDE for certain things I wanted to customise.

learn how to configure your shell now it will save you so much time and make it easier to learn if everything is already tailored to you just find documentation on your shells configuration its usually in ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
Linux is great but make sure you also have a secondary computer for if and when it randomly doesn't boot or won't update anymore. You can probably get a used laptop pretty cheap.
