    Out of curiosity what’s your use case for dual booting? I know it’s a common choice for new Linux users and I did it too out of fear that I’d be missing something I need Windows for, but I’ve been completely Windows-free for a while and much happier for it. When I did have a Windows partition I never booted into it.

    For games, Steam’s Proton works pretty well for most games these days. You can check https://www.protondb.com/ to see if your game works well with Proton.

    I’ve also had good experiences with Wine for productivity software. Similarly, you can check https://appdb.winehq.org/ to see how well your program runs on Wine.

    Worst case scenario, if you have a decent enough PC, you can always run a Windows VM and that should run more or less anything.

    And all of these avoid any trouble with Windows eating your grub install etc
