What to try #linux? Ask around, specially friends, what distro to try. Download a live CD and try it that way. If you have old HW sitting around, try installing there first. If not, try dual booting. Test the waters before you jump. If you get into any trouble, seek help from the distro's community; many have "instant chat" like IRC or others. Mastodon is possible, but it's slower because of the async'ty and pasting config files is awkward. Good luck!
PS: if the jargon si too much, just ask.

Kind of disagree.
Don't confuse folks with distro choices, go for the safe bet, the distro that is most common and have tons of help for out there. Go for Ubuntu!
Then when you are comfortable with using Ubuntu and start to love Linux, then go distro-surfing 
@gauteweb yes, it's kind of a trade off. Get a easy distro or get one your friends can help you with. With a little bit of luck there's a overlap.
@mdione
If you have friends that run some obscure distro, I'm pretty sure they can help you with Ubuntu as well 
@gauteweb good point :)
