If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Resources: Please spend at least a minute to check a web search engine with your question.

What /var/logs do I need to look at to see if my hard drive is failing? Debian-based

Use smartctl

shout out to the user who recommended Fedora Kinoite to me recently: thanks dude, you're the best. i've slowly switched all my stuff from kde neon and it works really great for me. ostree is the future.

Shit. It's for my raspberry pi, and smartctl isn't native for that. Any other options?

Smartmontools isn't packaged for ARM? The only thing I can think of then is to run dmesg and see if there's any I/O errors. If there isn't it's probably fine.

Literally whom is that and why are they doing the King Barnett pose?

Great. Only errors that I received are predictable ones. If someone else knows of a better way, please let me know. Thanks for the help, user.

He is tech lead meme guy that hates Linux because he values his time too much. Ironic for his image to be used for OP.
