You can make a bootable USB 3.x stick that will start up in less than 15 seconds and let you try it out.
Remember, with Linux, you can make it look like anything you want. I like the built in Cinnamon and skin it to look like a Mac, using the built in library of customisation add-ons.
Unlike WinSlop, no bloat unless YOU add it.
