There is always dual booting.

I've read many experiences about how Windows has a tendency to brick the Linux partition when dual-booting :/

Basically its how much bullshit do you want to deal with microsoft before dealing with the minor inconveniences of linux.

For me it's more like how much Linux-incompatibility bullshit I'd need to put up with (in addition to running into situations where I'd have to use CLI which I hate) in exchange of using a not-actively-user-hostile FLOSS OS. And for my abilities and use cases the balance doesn't quite tip in Linux's favour yet, over an O&O Shutup'd Win10 Enterprise where I can disable 99% of Microsoft's bullshit via group policies. (Will see how that changes when I have to switch to Win11 in a few months lol.)

If you install windows first and then linux, windows wont overwrite the bootloader.

I use linux as a daily gaming pc... you know how often i need to use CLI? Zero.

Instead of reading about it, try it.
