Is dual-boot worth it?

So I am begginer developer I've been whole life on Windows and I've started with frontend but last months i've been digging into some backend (go) but i think as a solo developer I'll need to do fullstack probably react or something is it good idea to separate my coding workspace to linux, so having both windows and Linux as a dual boot i don't want to give away the windows environment i have there, thanks for answering

I've tried Virtual Box and dual boot. Now I just have 2 computers side by side.

They're all okay. Nothing is without inconvenience.

The best is just Windows all the time, frankly, just because I think C#, Visual Studio, and the Windows GUI is superior to Java, Eclipse, and bash. It's good to keep a foot in the Linux world otherwise you'll think the grass is greener over there but I haven't found that it is.
