First, like many of other commenters said, as an "inspiring web developer":

focus on your development process not your operating environment.

Second, if you have internet connection just use free tiers of cloud providers' virtual private servers or even better use public access systems like freeshell, blinkenshell or sdf (this one not exactly linux but can open the door of a different experiences).

Third, dual boot with MS Windows or virtualization not that hard, just try.

Fourth, this is kind of counter argument to my first point but probably best in my opinion; come on baby, don't fear the reaper... Joking aside, don't fear and just break things and you will be alright; once upon a time, we were all there poor and without constant and fast connections, free services, online communities, etc. and we survived.
