"live booting distro's off a USB"

Yeah, this is how I have been learning with a few coworkers. We are starting with Gentoo and working through the handbook to install it.

I'll eventually work on some easier Linux distros (I think we are going to do Fedora) and try out a VM so I know how to do all of those things :)

Nice. Gentoo is really good. So is Fedora. I've been using Manjaro as my daily driver for a few years and am totally in love. Playing around with differnt distrobutions and seeing what they have to offer is one of the things that's so fun and great about the linux ecosystem. So many different flavors, you get to experiment around and see what one works best for you. It's also something that can feel quite overwhelming for a lot of people, so vm's and live usb's are a great way to get ease into the ecosystem.

Always remember:

With root power, comes root responsiblity.
