I'm 58, and the only "code" I've ever written is hexadecimal for the Apple ][+ we had back in high school. Which isn't even remotely close to what actual code is. Thanks for the attempt at insult, but it's my reality, so fuck you too.

It wasn't an attempt at an insult. It was an attempt to inform you that the whole comment seemed strange.

That kind of pretense is even more stupid when

and the only “code” I’ve ever written is hexadecimal for the Apple ][+ we had back in high school

it turns out you've seen some parts of real computing many people haven't.

Also sorry for making you feel whatever way, my comment was basically intended to prevent more of that in future.

So, about using it - the advice would be to try something convenient in dualboot (shrink the NTFS, shrink the partition it's on, install Linux on the freed up space) and see for yourself.
