usually tearing has to do with drivers
with amd i believe its pretty much like 5 lines in udev config to turn o vsync or whatever which you can find at arch or gentoo wiki
i doubt you will experience tearing with intel but there are articles for intel as well

tiling window managers most of the time support some basic scripting in their config files
they also have plugins and what not and so do non tiling managers
when it comes to actually serious stuff that isnt r/unixporn related as you can imagine every part of the system can be replaced or modified
and i mean EVERY part
its also trivial to add your own functionality with scripts
most FOSS programs either outright have their own support for scripting or work ok with them
>I don't wanna dive head first into Linux immediately
do manual arch installation (without script)
even if you arent intend on using arch, you can use VM
that well teach you absolute basics
>is there any advice you would like to give me or source to point me to?
arch and gentoo wiki
some of the best wiki's ive ever seen
>it's dangers and if the advantages of using it compared to running Linux in VM exceed the disadvantages
i wouldnt use microsoft products, i just dont trust that company on a technical and ideological level
but thats my shit
VM is good for learning, you can save states and stuff and its easy to start over
also you can simulate your "migration"
the only issue is its virtual hardware so it wont prepare you for hardware issues
and if you decide to use VM you wont have access to hardware related functionality of FOSS ecosystem (like smartctl or i2c for example or linux kernel having build in drivers for the most random shit like esp8266)
also your keyboard input is going through the host 1/2
