Fedora, it fucking slaps and worked right out of the box. I'm using it for work and play on my main rig! I dual boot for some very specific hardware things that are not normal, but other than that it's been seamless! When I booted into Windows 10 again, they auto installed copilot... Glad to be done with this crap.

There's no risk of data loss with a VM. If you don't like it then just shut the VM down and pretend it never happened. With a dual boot you always run the risk of clicking the wrong option, or the installer just not liking your windows install and bjorking it (usually the bootloader)

i think you replied to the wrong comment

No, definetly replied to the right one.

Either is going to require you to google things. How to set up a VM can be googled on the computer while in the process of setting it up. If you're stuck in the bios because secure boot is blocking you but you don't know that then you can't just fire up firefox and google away at it.

Either way is going to require research if you don't know what you're doing, one lets you stay in the "comfort" of windows while doing it.
