I plan to do a pc upgrade very soon. Alongside that I plan to start with Mint or Fedora. Is there any real or big downsides to dual booting ? Aside from the harddrive space lost ?

If I like or really like my time with Mint I would probably switch permanently but I felt like I wanted to test it for a couple of months before making a complete switch.

Im a big freeze-gamer so that impacts my consideration. Dont really play much multiplayer shooters so I dont have a problem with kernel anticheat games not working.

Also, if you are planning on gaming on LInux side, grab this. It's a manager for the Glorious Eggroll fork of Proton and it makes trying to get a wonky game to run so much easier. I started playing Warframe and could only get it to run with a really old GE-Proton release because of this.
