Dual-booting as an intermediate phase for fully switching OSs
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm currently daily driving Linux so I'm not planning on ever going back to Windows. No need to worry about that.
Ah sorry misread there are quite a few "should I dual boot to switch from windows to Linux" posts
It's definitely possible to dual boot different distros but what I said still holds true, if you want to try it just installing it as the full os is the way to go. You can always backup and transfer your home directory to keep everything how you'd expect
