I have no familiarity with Linux. Am I able to wipe a windows laptop and instead install Linux?

Yes, but try a few of the newbie distros on a live cd / USB first to make sure.

Try a few different flavours (different UIs) of Linux Mint or Ubuntu first or possibly Manjaro, though personally I'd leave that for later.

Don't go installing Fedora or Arch yet.

Once you do, do get comfortable with the terminal, it will make your life far easier & where much of the real power is, in fact that goes for windows too.

Those who don't dig down into the engine room of any OS really don't know how to use it.
