Don’t wait. Experiment now in a VM to learn the basics.
Or alternatively, make a live USB and boot it natively.
If I go this route, is there a way to take that VM I've created and just roll straight into it? Just install it on the boot drive?
I've got a Pop!_OS VM going already.
I think there is a way technically with something like trueimage or clonezilla, but I’ve never used it. Always thought of my VM as a learning tool, and then used what I learnt to fresh install on real hardware
Oh I never though of running those!
Clonezilla inside the VM to clone the "drive" and then clone that to the actual SSD
