I think i may be one of those switching to Linux for my desktop. I’m on win 11. The only thing I’m concerned about is that I have a few programs that are kind of specialized.

You can fully install Linux into a 32gb flash drive. It will live inside that flash drive. Though 64gb size might be better long term. I would install Linux Mint.

So boot up to your Linux flash drive for your Linux to use the your Windows 11 hardware. Even better than a flash drive is buy a used or new 256GB NVME drive and a USB enclosure for it. Install Linux into NVMe drive. It will function as a faster flash drive. Linux will pop with that arrangement.
