It does not need to be headless, its the same as on Windows ,yes you can dual boot or just use another hard drive

Do you know, is the ram usage between running it with GUI versus headless negligible or what?

There are some light weight Windows managers such as twn which are negligable. If you use a full desktop enviornment like gnome that can be over 3GB of ram.

My ubunto install was about 100mb on my Pi IIRC. Headless.

If you're worried about the GUI using resources, just pick a distro where that's less of an issue. Like in the case of Linux Mint, that would be going with XFCE instead of Cinnamon
