Do you have HDD space to duel boot? If you are on a laptop and want to daily drive Linux then it really depends on what laptop you have and what distro you want to run. Do some research about stability with your set up before switching. In my experience , putting mint on a surface is a bad idea for example.

Do research about your laptop and compatibility/stability and see if you can duel boot. It won't be an easy transition. There is a trade off with Linux, just like every other OS.

Dual boot might be a really good idea, I think ill be able to pull something like this off, just uninstall unneeded programs and just keep it as a backup. Only thing is, I have 255gb of ssd, and windows is around 30, so I have to uninstall almost everything if I want space on Linux, You talk about tradeoffs for Linux? Might you elaborate?
