See if they have a live image you can download. (Both Ubuntu and Fedora have them.) Put it on an external hard drive or flash and see if it boots. You can try Linux without a lot of pain. If the live image works, you’ll likely have few problems installing it. Since all these operating systems are free, you can try different distributions until you find one you like. That being said, I run Catalina on three different Macs (2014 mini, 2018 mini, 2016 MacBook Pro) and my wife runs it on one (2019 MacBook). We don’t have any deal-breaking problems. Some software was slow to update for Catalina, but that problem has gone away for me as the developers squashed problems. Before you upgrade, make sure your software is up to date and beware any older 32-bit software because it won’t work at all.
