Everyone does it, doesn't matter if it's your first time using Linux switching from Windows or trying your build on a couple different OS'es.
I remember buying Linux magazines, running Home and wiping my whole drive just to try them.
Well... don't do that.
At least the wiping the disk part. Don't even bother with problematic Dual-Boot-Setups!
Make use of Virtualization!
Dual-Boot had it's up and down, like when Microsoft added Secure Boot and broke them all.
I'm not saying it's bad to have it, but Virtualization has progressed so far that i can't think of any reason to keep bothering with it.
libvirt,kvm,qemu,virtualbox,vmware,hyper-v etc.. the list goes on..
Every one of those does have its Pro and Cons, but are fully capable to run 99% of all the win/linux editions you might come across.
There are still some restrictions, like being unable to share the GPU between host+vm,
but with GPU passthrough that shouldn't be a problem if you use a proper Server instead of your single-GPU-Home-PC.
Wasn't me that told you, but with a little bit of VM-Hardening you might even be able to run some Games (League of Legends cough) with Anti-Cheats.
You might get your Account banned if cought, but in the rare case (Riot Games!!!) you can bypass their stupid restrictions and play like normal.
If you just need some apps you dont want to have on your main system it might also be a good idea to dive into Docker instead of virtualizing a full blown os.
Someday i'll add a guide about Docker and Kubernetes.. Still learning myself, but it's just amazing what you can do with it.
But when it comes to Distro-Hopping my personal favorite right now is "gnome-boxes"!
With a single click you can install the latest redhat/opensuse images and windows installs are also fully automated.
Once youve entered a couple infos like username,password and windows-key it installs everything in the background.
TLDR:
Start up your VIrtualization Software..
Download whatever OS image your want to try
Install and Enjoy
Just go and check out the Timeline on Wiki - Linux Distribution
There are tons of interesting Distro's to try..
