Use it inside a VM. Worst case you can restore a snapshot or just reinstall. No risk of not being able to boot

Have backup of your data; replicas are not backups.

That's the one rule you must follow... For basically everything. There's no need for a VM, there's need for backups. Also, if you don't want to learn the command line right now, you need backups too.
