    There’s also the option of just using VMs instead of dual-booting.

    This is what I use for my work. I have a specific work VM where I have everything Windows-exclusive that I need installed. Saves me the hassle of having to reboot when I quickly need something from Linux or Windows. Or having to deal with broken bootloaders.

    There’s a tiny bit of a learning curve to managing VMs though, and performance of a VM is of course not up to par running a native Windows installation directly.

    For example, you won’t be able to record and mix audio because of the latency. I still keep a Windows installation specifically for that.

    But for basic connecting to the office VPN, running MS Office, etc., it’s alright.
